A Journey into Pompeii

Congratulations!  You have been chosen to go back in time and retrieve some valuable information for the Historical Society.  We need valuable information as to what happened to Pompeii on August 24 on 79 A.D.  Only you can tell us exactly what happened to these people.  Be careful!  Avoid Vesuvius and return back safely!  We need you to find out one thing!  How would the world be different today if this event had never happened?  We are counting on you to fulfill this mission!
