Chernobyl was by far the worst man-made disaster. The radiation went into the jet stream worldwide and over as far as North America.

Bhopal gas was much worse than chernobyl

BP didn't lose any money for Deepwater Horizon they just passed on the fine money to the consumer.

The miscalculation at Castle Bravo is a good one to watch. nuclear test

[@barryfletcher7136]

Regarding Bhopal, the Indian government refused to allow Union Carbide to install automatic safety systems or safety systems which could be controlled remotely. They also refused to allow UC to have any westerners at the chemical plant. The justification was to make as many jobs as possible for Indian citizens. However, when the emergency began the Indian workers simply ran away without activating the safety systems.

[@reneemaciag3084]

I am surprised Chernobyl and Fukashima did not make the list.

[@maczack87]

I’m surprised no nuclear incidents made it on this list. Any disaster as damaging as a nuclear disaster and will continue to cause damage for hundreds of years to come seems worthy of this list.

[@christianoliver3572]

British Petrol really did royally (sorry) screw up in the Gulf Coast but quite honestly to their credit they eventually did more than they had to as far as cleaning up the mess they made. It was an ecological disaster that so easily could have killed the very important commercial fisheries, oyster beds, commercial blue crab fisheries, and perhaps forever might have ended shrimping in the Louisiana and northern Texas Gulf Coast regions. Also you've got to realize the human damage that did happen to Gulf and bayou residents that could have forever altered their local livelihoods however they made their income because of their proximity to the Gulf Coast region. To think just a few hundred thousand dollars spent could have saved billions!

[@allenkramer2143]

Thank You BP contracted Transocean, the owners of the Deep Water Horizon drill rig, to drill exploratory wells. TRANSOCEAN, disregarded the concerns of the, on board, staff, which led to the blow out. Ironically, this, exact same thing happened with another drill rig owned by Transocean off the coast of Mexico. BP stepped up, big time. They could have said, not us, talk to Transocean. Within the WEEKS following the accident they had money flowing for compensation through a voluntary agreement. Conversely, The Exxon Valdez spill in Prince William Sound took decades to settle. The only money that came as compensation was when a Court of Law ordered it. In another irony, the last claims of the Exxon Valdez accident had just been settled when this incident occurred.

[@ryanjustice2670]

I'm sure I won't be the last one to comment this but, Chernobyl anybody? How in the world that wasn't #1, let alone on the list at all, baffles the mind.🤦‍♂️

0:50, if anyone did not immediately think Chernobyl, then they are completely suspect.

[@FEARNoMore]

I wonder if it's becuz of your youth that you don't remember this oil catastrophe or because British media didn't cover this as much as in the U.S. becuz it's BP?

[@cshubs]

Check out the 2015 China explosion, the Pepcon explosions in Nevada, the China rocket accident, and of course the Beirut explosion from a few years ago. All of these are insane. The Pepcon incident was far from populated areas. The others were close.

[@yugioht42]

Unfortunately the money for treatment compensation is a valid way for companies to get out of trouble but in exchange a no talking contract is signed meaning the victims can’t disclose anything to anyone. Several district attorneys have done this because it’s the only way out of a case that would have dragged on and nothing would come out of it. It was done to a pesticide company testing a new product without consent on people, a medical electronics company that put faulty batteries in various products, and toy manufacturers that put lead in toys. Basically the two parties sign the money compensation for any and all medical treatments as the company pays the entire cost while both parties sign the no disclosure agreement meaning the paperwork goes into a file from the legal sides and it never happened and both sides say nothing about the incident. The medical staff is told the truth but they keep their mouths shut due to the legal consequences and the treatment continues.

[@michaelevans1193]

My initial reaction was surprise that neither of you heard of the BP Horizon oil spill. Then I remembered that you were both barely tweens when it happened and then it made perfect sense.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

I remember when it happened. I think I saw that story on NBC nightly news with Brian Williams. It was pretty much the top story.

[@toddtempleton6514]

You might want to cut them a little slack since it happened 13+ years ago and they were likely too young to care.

[@claytonswinford00]

I was like 10 and went to the beach and some guy wrote FU BP in the sand big as hell😭😂

[@generalkayoss7347]

The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was pretty bad too. An oil tanker ran aground in Price William Sound, though it was only a fraction of the amount leaked in the BP Gulf spill, it all washed up on land in huge quantities and devastated the animals in the area.

[@theworldsbroken]

@@toddtempleton6514 the OP Literally just said that...

[@imderrickjed]

What they dont tell you about man made leaks in the ocean are two things. 1. Oil naturally leaks into into the ocean (naturally occurring oil seeps from the seafloor are the largest source of oil entering the world ocean). 2. There are species of marine bacteria in several families that can eat compounds from petroleum as part of their diet. In fact, there are at least seven species of bacteria that can survive solely on oil. For every action there is a reaction. We need to spill oil to feed these little guys. Side note there are shrimp that live in water four times hotter than the boiling point. All this to say every natural disaster seems to resolve itself faster than we ever thought possible. Chernobyl is a perfect example. When this happened we were told it could be 100,000 years before people could live there. Now we find out people are actually living there anyway. Not a lot, but there are camps of people not to mention the ones who go for tours or sneak in. We have been feed too many scary stories and the end results are bad, but nothing like we were told.

[@2008rmartin]

[@kazeryu17]

I was living in Pensacola, Florida, during the Deepwater Horizon spill. Some of the world's most beautiful beaches, known for having the whitist sand in the world, and turquoise water were stained with crude oil. People who were paid to clean up the oil got severely ill from its toxicity. There was a story in the news about a local charter boat captain who committed suicide because he lost his livelihood. The Deepwater Horizon disaster was the cause of the Hands Across The Sand movement, which gained worldwide recognition. Unfortunately, it seems that many people forgot about the disaster, and similar spills will likely happen in the future.

[@tristantknight]

I used to work in an industrial park in a warehouse and I remember consistently getting nauseous... of course I only came to this realization within the last year after realizing I don't get nauseous anymore. now humans just need to get off the oil and coal reliance and use alternative energy solutions and we'll be headed in the right direction as a species.

[@jdub8325]

Unfortunately, things like these will always happen. It's horrible and inevitable.

[@rg20322]

Of course they will because of companies cutting corners to try and save a few dollars, and especially with Bhopal/Union Carbide where life was of no concern and these executives got away with thousands of people dieing. Not to mention the Indian GOV not prosecuting and apparently not doing much of anything to go after this company.

[@charlie7mason]

@@rg20322 Well, the Indian govt. did try to get the executives, particularly the CEO, to come in, but he'd already fled to his home country of USA, and the US govt. refused to extradite him.

I was in a hospital bed when #5 happened. BP oil spill.

[@mocrg]

That photo of air pollution is actually steam probably from a nuclear plant. I couldn't tell from the photo Also the Aral sea should be on the list.

[@kevinwallis2194]

one that didnt get mentioned and most either didnt hear about it or are too young to know about it,. The Morgan Explosion in new york. On the night of October 5, 1918. With explosions lasting into the next morning, and fires bruning for three days, the Morgan Depot Explosion was a devastating blow to the town of Sayrevile and surrounding neighborhoods. In total, over 300 buildings were destroyed and over $18,000,000 of damage was done, while it is believed that around 100 people lost their lives.

[@theblackbear211]

If we are talking about the effect on people, especially lives lost, Then yes, Bhopal is high on the list, but then, there is Chernobyl - which will be uninhabitable for an estimated 3 THOUSAND years. We have a long list of industrial accidents involving Ammonium Nitrate - with at least 7 events in the last 106 years having death tolls in the hundreds, including Beirut, Lebanon in 2020, and the most lethal industrial accident in US history - at Texas City, (in Texas) where nearly 600 people were killed. The list on mine accidents - especially coal, mine accidents, often caused by mining companies knowingly and deliberately violating safety rules and laws is a long list also. The Deepwater Horizon is indeed, an egregious example of placing short term profit over safety, but it too, is in a long list from the oil industry, world wide - between drilling rigs, refineries and pipelines... it would be hard to choose the "worst" especially if you include the environmental damage. As for Rig disasters, the Ocean Ranger, and the Piper Alpha come immediately to mind - with over 240 deaths between them... and only 6 years apart. Ixtoc 1 is still somewhere near the top of the list for largest oil spills of all time... Then, there was the PEMEX refinery that was leaking/ dumping Gasoline into the city sewers of Guadalajara, Mexico - the blasts killed hundreds. could also mention Paradise, California... The Electric Company had been deferring maintenance (Read not doing any) on a major high voltage line, that was in use - beyond its original designed lifetime. When it failed, on a hot and windy day, the ensuing fire, in a matter of a few hours, completely wiped out the town of Paradise - a town of almost 30,000 people. 95% of all the buildings in town were destroyed or heavily damaged by fire... over 80 people died... some, when the fire over-ran the vehicles that they were driving. Most of these are momentary blips on the news feed. My apologies if this was too explicitly gruesome. Suffice it to say, the list is long and ugly.

[@LordGertz]

Rio Tinton mine disaster, the closeness plant explosion in India, mud vulcanized in Indonesia, everything Russia did chemically and radioactive in Khazastan, mine fire that destroyed town, Valdez accident, what the petroleum industry has done in southern Nigeria, Naru over mining and Chernoble to name just a few. (Sorry for all the bad spelling.) So it was pesticide not clorene in India.

[@marigeobrien]

It's oil spills like the BP Horizon spill that contribute to the depletion of oil. I'm not saying we should keep using oil. But, can you imagine how many millions of barrels were wasted in a 90-day period? And guess who gets to pay for that? Plus the settlement? And people wonder why oil has gotten so expensive -- again. I wonder if the "mercury in tuna" started with the Minimatu mercury poisoning?

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

I don't think oil companies should have oil pipes underwater either. That's unsustainable. I would tell them to remove them. Pfft

[@davidheiser2225]

I'm surprised that the Halifax Explosion didn't make it to this list. It remains the largest man made, non nuclear explosion to date. 2000 dead, 9000 wounded and it nearly wiped the Canadian city of Halifax off the map.

[@Jack-qe8we]

Damn I'm surprised you didn't hear about that first incident with that well blow out because that well was owned by BP which is British petroleum

[@marvinjohnson3413]

I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast and the Deep-Water Horizon catastrophe still affects us even today. There are still pockets of oil that show up from time to time during and after a severe storm like a hurricane. We will be dealing with aftereffects for a very long time.

[@easein]

I grew up on the central coast of California. Globs of oil wash up on the beaches a lot. It's a natural phenomena. I buy wild gulf shrimp at the store. If getting your sandals sticky from a 'major' disaster is the worst that happens, we can all count ourselves blessed.

[@marvinjohnson3413]

@@easein , it was more than getting sandals sticky with oil. It was the wildlife that suffered then and are still suffering now from the oil and the chemicals used to contain the oil. I don't go to the beaches at all, not because of the oil but because of the number of people wo are there. Any chemical or oil spill is a disaster to the environment no matter how it happens!!

That oil disaster was during Obama’s tenure as president and in response then Vice president Biden went on national television but completely butchered what he was going to say and he just it was a big deal to be on television. Obama desperate to end the whole crisis went down to Texas himself but it just kept gushing. It was a huge disaster both politically and environmentally. The entire gulf coast shut down every beach that summer due to oil washing up and the cleanup took forever. Even Florida got some oil on beaches it was that wide. It cost so much to clean up the oil too. The disaster cost most than the Exxon Valdez disaster from the eighties as it covered so much more ground.
