Okay this is at Pompeii where, even if it was a LONG time ago it's still really sad. To anyone who doesn't know, an actual volcanoe erupted and yes those are actual real people that slowly died by getting covered by lava and are still frozen in their dying position. Some are so well preserved that you can still see the looks of pain on their faces and yes, it's a pretty sad thing to go visit.
The reason they died so quickly was because there was a pyroclastic surge which killed them instantly.........there's a little science/history lesson for you..
