Im trying to find the worst man-made or technological disaster. Im having trouble narrowing it down or even finding a good list. I guess i would classify it as the worst by the highest death toll. Sources appreciatedIm looking for like a single event, not a war or famine or anything of that nature.
That Chernobyl accident might top the list. The'official'death toll was something like 4000. But other estimates put the subsequent cancer deaths over 15 years at close to 250,000.I can't think of anything bigger than that.
