  1. You forgot that Davy Crockett was one of the defenders that died there

  2. Actually it’s got a low mortality rate (4-15%) IF you get treatment very early on in the infection, otherwise it’s nearly 100% fatal

  3. It’s no surprise that he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor

  4. And one of his relatives was FDR

  5. dckaelin especially since he was the biggest name there

  7.  @leticiagarcia9025  he might’ve thought that he was talking about the bubonic plague but that could honestly be applied to all three versions of the plague. Hell, the pneumonic and sepicemic plagues were even worse than the bubonic plague

  8.  @ynnosredd3190  yup

  9.  @potatofuryy  it is compared to a 100% mortality rate

  10.  @laurap9131  actually he left politics after he disagreed with Jackson’s policies and Jackson ran a smear campaign to discredit him

  11.  @VesuviusGaming-um5yn  true but Vesuvius is actually overdue since it has a tendency to erupt every 60-65 years on average since the Pompeii eruption and the last eruption was in 1944. What makes it even worse is that Vesuvius tends to have a vei 5-6 eruptions every 2,000 years and it’s getting dangerously close to that 2,000 years since the last one mark (the last one being the Pompeii eruption). I’d say that we are more likely to see a major eruption from Vesuvius within the next century or two than we are to seeing Yellowstone erupt within the next millennium

  12. Some of Vesuvius’s past eruptions actually have reached the the area where Naples is now so it definitely could destroy the city with a large enough eruption

  13. ぽぴぽろPopiporo it’s probably the top pandemic on the list since it killed between 75 million and 200 million people in only a few years

  14. He originally portrayed himself as being a badlands hunter in image only but the image actually became reality

  15.  @VesuviusGaming-um5yn  very true. If it had a vei 5-6 eruption now it could easily overtake the 1815 Tambora eruption as the deadliest in history since millions of people live in Vesuvius’s danger zone and evacuations would be very difficult since a lot of the buildings in that area are not built up to seismic code. The only way that it would be worse is if Campi Flegrei were to have a major eruption since part of Naples is actually within the caldera of Campi Flegrei.

  16. It also makes you realize the terrifying fact that Vesuvius can EASILY do it again but to Naples

  17. It’s not as bad as being an injured soldier during that time since most injuries would’ve resulted in amputation and would have a very high chance of getting infected

  18.  @Aloysious0013  what the doctors saw was bad but better to see it but not endure the medical treatment then to be the one that is being operated on since the surgeons of the time didn’t know to sterilize their tools and there were no painkillers to help the patient

  19. I’m surprised that the Armero Tragedy wasn’t mentioned

  23. About that, volcanic winters can still happen and tambora is still an active volcano

  24.  @christophedenisleet3007  if the mortality rate is 100% then it’s guaranteed that you die

  25.  @DantesInferno96  actually birds did have their time, they were the apex predators for around 10-15 million years after the K-T extinction
    1
  26.  @DantesInferno96  they know that the dinosaurs died out around 66 million years ago and that was around the same time that the impact happened

  27.  @darklaren  165 million years, not 200 million years
    1
  28.  @SpencerOilChangeLOL  no. the dinosaurs first evolved around 240-230 million years ago and died out 66 million years ago so they were only around for 165 million years
    1
  29.  @VesuviusGaming-um5yn  yup, Tambora was much worse
    1
  30.  @VesuviusGaming-um5yn  nope but there have been times where Vesuvius would erupt multiple times within that amount of time, it’s just that the longest that Vesuvius seems to go between eruptions since 79 CE is around 65 years on average

  31. That was due to pyroclastic surges, it didn’t happen immediately

  32.  21stcenturyenigma  not some, that happened to pretty much all of them

  33.  @NoxVicticus  actually both cities were hit by pyroclastic surges, Pompeii just had a higher population

  38. It’s because of heat contraction in the body
