INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Is it true that the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD caused a tsunami?
Unclear. Two sources partially support the claim: a reference article states a mild tsunami occurred in the Bay of Naples during the eruption, and a National Geographic piece says a tsunami pummeled the area around Pompeii. Neither establishes that the eruption caused a tsunami that destroyed Pompeii.
