At the height of the Roman Empire, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius buries the town of Pompeii in volcanic ash, killing thousands.

X-rays reveal ages, injuries suffered, and even artifacts like sandals and jewelry - while the investigation also throws light on why they failed to escape the most famous disaster of the ancient world.
