Description:
In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, instantly burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and preserving the lives of those caught in its path. Charles Pellegrino, a renowned paleontologist, archaeologist, and forensic physicist, explores this ancient disaster in *American Vesuvius*. Pellegrino applies modern forensic archaeology to the ruins of Pompeii, uncovering details about the victims' final moments. He then uses the same methods to investigate the World Trade Center wreckage, revealing striking physical similarities between the volcanic eruption and the collapse of the Twin Towers. His scientific investigation highlights surprising connections between the destruction of Pompeii and the man-made devastation at Ground Zero.
