One was a catastrophic event causing unimaginable pain and suffering
which still resonates today; people surveying the ruins and devastation
shake their heads in bewilderment, imagining people going about their
daily lives innocent of the disaster that was about to rain down upon
them.

The other was caused by a volcanic eruption.
