The 1917 Halifax explosion is even now regarded as the largest non-nuclear accidental explosion in history Key Notes -1782 people were confirmed dead 1600 of which were killed instantaneously -9000 are estimated to have non fatal injuries -The explosion was felt as far as Cape Breton 207 kilometers (129 miles) away -1.6 square kilometers was completely destroyed by the explosion -of the two ships that collided which were responsible 4 highly flammable/explosive materials were present. TNT, Picric Acid were explosives and Benzol, Guncotton were highly flammable and cause the explosion after benzol a liquid leaked into the engine bay and caught fire this fire is what set the tnt and acid alight -the explosion initially moved at 1000 kilometers a second (3300 feet per second) -and the temperature of the blast was 5000 C (9000 F) -the smoke cloud rose to 3600 meters (11800 feet) -when the explosion occurred you could momentarily see the harbour floor before water rushed in to fill the void and as you might expect that caused a wave of tsunami level going 18 meters (60 feet) above the high tide marker the smaller ship of the two SS Imo was lifted onto the shore by the massive wave -even after the explosion many houses entire streets worth caught on fire from flipped stoves or knocked down lamps Key Notes End. one fire engine crew member had his clothes ripped off by the explosion and said it was awful people were dead hanging out of windows some without heads other were hanging from the telephone wires of the 8 man crew in the fire engine only he lived If it wasn't for Patrick Vincent (Vince) Coleman the death toll would have surpassed 2000 When he learned of the dangerous chemicals on the ship he immediately contacted a train with 300 people arriving in just a few minutes telling them to stop unfortunately he did not survive the incident if you actual read this or atleast the key notes first of all thank you this took me 10 minutes to wright and second of all you see my point yeah why isn't this on the list.

The nursing home was hit a ground shock of 2.1, that would hardly rattle your windows. The nursing home was hit by an overpressure of about 4-6 psi, doesn't sound much does it. 4-6 psi is the overpressure you'd recieve if you were stood 3500 to 4500ft away from a 20kt nuclear device.

As long as you have greed, you'll have these kinds of disasters and it doesn't matter whether it's greed for money in the case of the companies from capitalist countries being involved or greed for power and control in the case of the Soviet Union. The problem is greed combined with enough power to be able to effectively sacrifice lives for whatever sort of thing the parties involved are greedy for. It will always eventually result in disaster when too few people have too much power and money is only one form of power.

I do not know if this one counts, but the devastating results of the Dust Bowl.. Hear me out. The US government encouraged people to grow food, such as wheat and corn. The land it was grown was flat, and top soil was used along with tilling the ground to make the soil soft and loose enough to plant crops. Following the next few years was a terrible drought, killing crops and preventing new crops from growing. The area is normally plagued with wind. The flat earth was blown away, causing the “dust bowl”. to develop across multiple states. The ground needed to be formed with valleys and blocks to make multiple level in which to grow the food, and preventing the winds from blowing everything away. Many people were displaced, and many lost their livelihood, resulting in people emigrating to Western states, mostly California., with the Financial depression, there was not enough work to sustain them.

The residential stuff 'grew around' the plant, scootching closer and closer, quite likely taking advantage of the power and water mains that the plant needed to have. "Tapping into a water/power main" for your new house costs money, but 'running mains out TO your house to be able to tap into those mains' is WICKED-expensive. Also, there were nearly no zoning restrictions...this IS Texas, after all...and nobody worried about it. It's just a farming-depot supplying fertilizer! Who'd ever have to worry about THAT?! That's as likely to be a danger as...as chicken feed would be! That last comment is sarcasm, of course...'grain dust explosions' have a long and terrifying history in this nation and many others around the world. If humans have ever stored grain somewhere, I'm sure they have also BLOWN UP grain-storage there too at one point or another. But I mean...to LOOK at it, it's just grain; why is it a big deal? So only once Texas had CLEAR reason to make 'just fertilizer' be kept WELL away from residential zones, they finally changed those rules to prevent it. It's like the laws they have about 'propane tanks and where to place them'. Texas has 'a history' with THOSE, too. They aren't /generally/ idiots as a whole, they're just 'willing to take some chances from time to time' even if they know something's 'a little risky'. Once "A bit risky" instead proves to be "Town-leveling devastation", though, they changed that stuff!

They've caused the green house effects, that traps in the sun's rays of heat producing light in abnormal amounts and is every day causing so many more bad effects lke spontaneous burning land, forests, coral reefs are dying that are necessary for human life on earth, the increased evaporation of rivers and lakes etc. and glaciers melting much faster than they normally did before. Our government created these multibillionaires by changing our tax laws and unfairly putting the tax burden on the poor & middle class, which destroyed oyr middle class and further disempowered us all.

This is part of why jobs left America in the 1970's. There are risks in any manufacturing process and, while we work to lessen them, we will have to accept some risk. Pushing it offshore results in security risks and supply chain disruptions like we saw during the pandemic. You can't have it both ways folks.

Great work on creating this informative video. The common theme in this video is trillionaires that cared so much about their overstuffed back pockets and not about human or environmental consequences. Even in the present day, corporate greed is the true scurge that just won't go away. In my opinion, if a corporation commits such a blatant breach of laws, their assets should be liquified and repossessed to compensate the victims. This alone will cause moneyboned corporate buttkissers to actually use their brains and think twice before putting profit above everything else. If the giant mega corporations wouldn't be such greed breeders and use humanity as their pawns, this would solve 90% of the worlds problems.

Well now we know what the real subject of this documentary actually is. I have a suggestion on what the title of this video should have been. New title: "The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill And Some Of The Other Most Dangerous Man-Made Disasters In History" SMH

So heart breaking 😢

i remember picking up little hardened rocks made of oil 1-2 years after the disaster. i'll never forget the smell.

West, TX. Not surprising considering Texas codes. One reason I'll never live there, and never have, plus just the overall Texan attitude and disregard for federal government.

“To almost every corner of the GLOB”💀😩

So glad you said that 😂

Wow never knew about this. Oklahoma, Tiajin, Beirut.

I BELIEVE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CHRONICALLY DEPRESSED OR EVEN SUICIDAL CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS ANY CONTROL OVER. THE RESULTING DEATH AND DANGERS IS SIMPLY OVERWHELMING 😢😢😢😢

Bhopal still not cleaned up? Yikes. Where's the Beirut blast? Ammonium Nitrate at it's finest.

4:38 Shoutout Sharkys On The Pier @ Venice Beach babyy. Servers working there from 2011-2013 definitely qualified for and some recieved the lost-wages government fund as a result of the massive decrease in business following the Deepwater Horizon fiasco and resulting environmental crisis. Majority of restaurant workers / people working in tourism related businesses qualified and recieved a couple grand. Better than nothing i guess.

very bad for all those animals, there are plenty of people

Main problem: Too many people. Too few good ones.

A super molecular chemist!!! Jeez…that sounds like some Top Secret levels in the government. Without all of the YcorrupUtion…lol That’s definitely Google worthy!! I bet this guy has studied all of his life for that title! He sounds super smart! I’d like to thank him for the interview he underwent to participate in this video! So thank you Sir for your participation. Y’all take care!!

“Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS!” That school and nursing home were far and away not far away from the wooden ammonium nitrate storage facility!!

Plenty of times i can think of someone was "too far up" in bad conditions at 10,000 ft and a rescue was not attempted for hrs to days.... mt everest death zone... forget about it ❤

I'm so scared now 😂

Excellent video Horribly sad But excellent video

Twenty thousand years, nuf said, game over!!!🙏😢😵‍💫⚰️

Man-made disasters. Good job!

The old “miners’ helmets” used calcium carbide to produce acetylene gas for a flame magnified by a mirrored housing.

small correction: I meant the LAMPS of the helmets.

Indeed, these types of things will continue to happen, because greed feeds the bottom line.

Where did you get the numbers for the thousands that died from chernobyl? The official story is ridiculous, something like 30 or 40 total deaths.

Very scary

Common denominator in all cases except Chernobil, greed for profit, and yet nobody considered the cost incured by the disregard of safety procedures, and I am sure corporations did all they could to avoid the expense of the consequence from their neglect of safety.

I see now. The Oklahoma bomber didn't get that like fertilizer from the local feed store. He had to have experience using it as dynamite.😳

BIG BANG ❣

Man, it must be really nice to be too big to fail.

When describing radiation poisoning like terms you having these certain documentations you really need to go in a little bit more depth. Like internal bleeding vomiting blood etc skin peeling blisters. Radiation transfer.

So who shook hands for these killers to drill in the Gulf😡😠❓️❓️❓️they should be all imprisoned and every one of their oilrigs pulled down and dismantled also their rigs on land☝🏿💯💯💯

20:46 i hear those 2 words and pastiside plant and i just know something is going to go wrong

No mention of the approximate 150,000 barrels of DDT rusting away at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of LA.

And yet people keep building up residential areas in proximity to these plants.

Thanks BP. However it wasn't all completely accurate but good enough.

How can massive projects like this be unsupervised by the gouverment? If it can result in a huge disaster a third and fourth party should supervise the project.

In case anyone was wondering how to make a boomboom? Probably should’ve left that part out 😮

Ah the chernobyl bit.. some of its just.. the control rods were not automatically taken out, they were ordered taken out by dyatlov to get 200megawats of power, the rods were tipped with graphite which when first inserted created a power surge. That plus the energy that was already building near the bottom lead to the big boom

Ok I have to ask how long was the plant there before they buid up the area around it??? My guess is, and it is only a guess a long time the area government is, along with the plant it self needed to held accountable.

boils at 40c then an exothermic chain reaction - what if the a/c went out in india on hot days @@ cut the power you get huge disasters. their ups is probably a bunch of old car batteries stuck together and generator out of spare parts

was expecting to see my bedroom on the list..... phew...

Ammonium nitrate is not an explosive. It is a powerful oxidizer.

your embedded ads for VEELY are why I refuse to watch anything on this channel or ever download VEELY! I have no issue with ads at the beginning or end of videos, but I watch KZread with an adblocker to NOT have to deal with ads interrupting a program.

6:00 A carbon based material? You mean any organic material? I hope it is stored carefully on farms then. lol Heat can cause it to explosively decompose though. It is stunning that tons of it were stored in a warehouse, in huge sacks, in Lebanon next to fireworks! Diesel fuel mixed with ammonium nitrate is also a typical improvised explosive. In Texas they shouldn't have been allowed to build next to a preexisting factory. Texas doesn't zone much, they just build willy-nilly. It is ironic that Texas and China have similar safety standards. The Tianjin warehouses also had large amounts of cyanide stored there. 18:37 The blowout preventer failed to shutoff the well. Maybe drilling 4km down into the earth's crust for oil isn't a good idea. 22:25 The Indian gov was complicit in this too, not just UC. They turned a blind eye to safety there. The gov should also remove residents from the area and never should've allowed them to live near it either.

I am from a farm in Canada, and I can tell you ammonium nitrate is not stored safely here! Any fool can get ahold of sacks and sacks of it, like Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma! 😮

Only human beings can create such devastation, only human beings. 🖤

Even though Chernobyl and the surrounding towns are badly irradiated, it really doesn't come close to the pollution of the plants making weapons grade uranium

These man-made disasters are enough evidence for all human being to think about their greed for power and wealth.

Money buys freedom even if you are a criminal. Greed is killing this world.

never seen a Cowboy wearing Hi Viz until now

Putin is about to give you round two with the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. He is the most evil man on the planet. Germany and all of Europe must never do business with him again.

The drilling rig story kills me, that's the one they made the movie about. White hats on that job got away with murder because of their ignorance and stupidity....

30:06 - is that Floyd Mayweather's "TMT" (The Money Team) logo on the side of that damn tanker lol? Keep in mind this was circa 2010, he was already wealthy, but not even close to today.... I did not expect to see that logo on the side of a damn tanker lol....

21:56 Those poor people 😢, greedy corporations

It will be interesting to see what happens when we run out of fossil fuels. Estimates on when we'll run out of oil are anywhere from 20-50 years, though deeper reserves may exist it will be monetarily unfeasible to drill to them. Recent estimates on coal is 132 years unless we do even more environmentally devastating ways of getting to it. Natural gas may run out anywhere from 90-120 years. Fossil fuels are limited and cannot be renewed, so once they're gone, that's it. Solar and wind power will most likely take over for a majority of energy concerns, even more nuclear power plants too, but right now people don't want that because it's not "aesthetic", people don't want to look out their windows at the windmills or power plants. Corn can be made into fuel, so that may be something we turn to, but then again we need that for food, both for us and for livestock, so I can see that being a battle. Everyone is hyped about electric cars but unfortunately, every day, more issues about them are cropping up. Producing them causes the same if not more pollutants going into the environment as gas cars do, their batteries cause hellacious fires that take many many hours to put out, sending up pollutants and storing dead batteries and wrecked cars is an issue due to the fire chances. And our infrastructure is not equipped to handle them, our roads, parking garages, bridges were never built to handle their weight, and we don't have nearly enough chargers and those we do have put a strain on our power grids, potentially making them fail. In the past 150-200 years of fossil fuel usage we have ruined this planet and we're going to feel the consequences of it sooner rather than later. We have the choice to use renewable energies, or go into another dark age, and sadly the corporations that rule over us are the ones that are going to decide. I think our problems are way past fixing fully. The planet will be better off once we use up all the fossil fuels though, either way.
