Vesuvius eruption believed dying
Naples, Italy (UP) –
The eruption of Vesuvius appeared to be dying down today.
No lava of any volume has flowed from the volcano in the last 60 hours and the spray of cinders and boulders ceased Saturday night.
A fine dust still showered out and the crater was emitting a gas smoke which in the past generally has been a sign of abatement.
The dust was up so thick in some places that traffic was blocked.
