I lived in Shanghai when the explosion happened. Even though we were geographically far from Tianjin, for a couple weeks afterward the government told us to shower and change clothes immediately if we were rained on. You know it’s BAD when the Chinese government is admitting its bad.
It literally said 2010 in the beginning
@@romansyqui5144 what are you talking about? Tianjin happened in 2015.
Omg...I feel sorry for everyone in this video
They moved it here too America; in The most impoverished community in Louisiana where it's predominantly African American Community.
New World Order govt's been trying a Final Solution Act against those of us who're of Indigenous Origin's (1492) & African Ancestry/African American's since 1503 a full 116 year's before 1619.
This chemical based company is capable of having an Chernobyl scenario!
How many people died as a result of the Chernobyl disaster? Some sources state that two people were killed in the initial explosions of the Chernobyl disaster, whereas others report that the figure was closer to 50. Dozens more contracted serious radiation sickness; some of these people later died. stop watching netflix@@jaggg.3821
I was at the fertilizer plant in West when it exploded, then was head of triage at the nursing home. In fact, I was in my truck and leaving the plant, to go home and grab my gear to help battle the blaze, when it blew. It looked like Call of Duty in real life afterwards. I will never get those images out of my head. My friends were killed that day. Thank you for covering this, it was pure negligence!
Sorry you lost your friends. 😞
Thank you sir for your dedication
@@jamar2k125 lol ma’am, and thank you
I just moved from West. I was on the fire department well after the explosion, but I could see how much it affected everyone. even after all these years.
So very sorry
Guessing this was filmed before 2020, since they didn't mention Beirut when talking about ammonium nitrate...
Must have been...and that 'supersonic blast wave' is one of those images that will live in my head forever, like the 'first Chernobyl images' and 'Indonesia's super-tsunami devastation' and stuff like that. That was just...terrifying and awe-inspiring.
That was a crazy video of Beirut.
That was 1 hell of a bang😂
That blast wave was so powerful, it cleared the skies from clouds.
Exactly. When they said that one explosion was the most terrifying video, I immediately thought of the Beirut video.
As an Oklahoman, just the words "amonium nitrate" send shivers up my spine, and images of the Murrow building in OKC flash through my head.
An inside job.
Yes the images are still vivid in my memory. I live in Pennsylvania but the TV coverage was extensive.
Misplaced modifier: "As an Oklahoman ... the words .... " You haven't said that YOU are an Oklahoman, you said that THE WORDS are an Oklahoman. Minus 1 point.
Listen to Prem Rawat!
@@friendsofthegerund7693 Good lord, have you nothing better to do with your life than to grammar check people in UA-cam? Besides that, I see nothing wrong with the way I stated my comment. But whatever - it's not worth my time to argue with you and I don't particularly care to.
And the worse thing nobody learns they make believe they fixed the problem instead of really fixing it. These people are professionals,thank God their not in charge . O gee I forgot they are. So let me ask a question was the war in Ukraine really a war, or was it a means of rebuilding their country for free b
Chernobyl: 37 years have passed, 20 000 years to go
When studied most of these disasters were greed based or the rich not wanting to spend a cent to make things safer, we are our own worse enemy, MAN.....
.
Absolutely! If you watch Seconds From Disaster you see that every time.
I still weep every time I think about the Deep Horizon disaster. The environmental devastation just defied description, the suffering of the sea life and birds...omg! All in the pursuit of money. Greed. Corporate greed. No conscience. No guilt. Pay the fines and just keep drilling. It's beyond sick. And, they will do it again. And again.
Yup. In 2 months BP let as much pollution into the gulf as all the countries surrounding the gulf do in just 2 years.Terrible
Yeah and just think if this same thing happened in China or Russia it would be 10,000 times worse like Chernobyl and Tianjin. There is NO accountability at all in those countries. The Chinese and Russia Governments holding themsevles accountable, like that is going to happen.
@@CR-rb5hl 'Mother Russia is incapable of having ANY disasters!"
I totally hear ya, my friend! I don't see why they have to drill in the ocean anyhow, other than raw greed. There are so many land leases with the US govt right now, with plenty of oil in them, that Big Oil hasn't even started developing. It's sick.
Greed for the biggest profit is always at the core of our worst problems.
actually no, maybe at the core of some disasters but greed for profit is actually more commonly at the core of our greatest successes lmao. Chernobyl for example happened in a society priding itself on "communism." So your philosophical statement doesn't really make sense.
I totally agree
@@bender0428Thank God for reasonable people like you! I am sick and tired of the peasant class forever blaming all the world's problems on people making profits!
@@bender0428Thank God for reasonable people like you! I am sick and tired of the peasant class forever blaming all the world's problems on people making profits!
@@bender0428BUT they key issue that caused the meltdown during the exercise was the way that Soviet reactors were built and designed CHEAPLY including no containment buildings. So again, greed.
For the fisherman to qualify for financial aide they had to fill out a 70 PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE with all kinds of frivolous questions like "What was the price of shrimp in April of last year?" And if they didn't get all the questions right they got denied, and if you did get all the questions right they would delay payment for months.
That's so disgusting, treating the people hurt that way.
Off topic but had to tell you. Never before have I seen an ad interrupted by another ad. The original ad resumed after I skipped the the second one. 😂
Confused the heck out of me the first time it happened.
You know it's bad, when they have commercial breaks, for the commercials.
Insert *we put x into x so you can x whilst you x* meme here.
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.
Edit the anchor of the bigger ship (Mont-Blanc) was launched 4 kilometers away from the rest of the ship where it still is today.
Edit 2 Explosion was so loud fishermen of the coast of Massachusetts even claimed to have heard the boom rumbling across the ocean.
Happy to see I was not the only one who questioned how this man made disaster was not mentioned as it was much more devastating than some of the others and shouldn't be overlooked as it so often is.
@@laurendamos6651 first of all thank you so much for your comment
second of all I actually have an idea as to why Wonder didn't list it Wonder has a thing for mainly listing recent disasters and I haven't really seen any of their content on older topics than the late 70's early 80's
and if you actually did read the whole comment (again thank you) this happened in WW1.
@@boneshakerjake That makes sense, this was only the second video of theirs I've watched.
Also myself being Canadian I would be very disappointed with myself if I hadn't known many of the details of the Halifax explosion. However it also wouldn't surprise me if many Canadians didn't know about it, as I didn't learn it in school despite learning about WW1, and I hope it is now taught in schools.
@@laurendamos6651 if it wasn't n a time a war multiple things wouldn't have been capable of causing
infact the ship carrying said picric acid
wouldn't have been let in the bay if it weren't for war times.
I read this twice. And I say a very big thank you for taking the time. I'm stunned by the explosive velocity - one hell of a blast (I know some about bangs). Thanks again.
Most important to remember is human life is far more valuable things the rest! We work to care for our surroundings but NEVER want to put human life secondary to all else around us! I am a paramedic and FF and am soooo sad about the loss of so many who were uninformed and untrained for these horrendous incidents😢
8:50 To state that the nursing home was "hit by a shockwave equivalent to 2.1 earthquake" is wrong in every respect.
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.
I hope every one who read this ,have a healty nice peacefull life.
Life is full of bad things while life is so short
I hope one day we all love eachother and live without war
❤
Aloha my friend🤙🏼
Wholesome. You too friend
The same to you! Much love!
You have to hope there is some better world than this, then, after you die!😇
Deep Water Horizon could been stopped in a couple of days.
A company in Texas has a way of sealing pipes. BP made a fuss about it would ruin a valve that cost ten million.
BP then put chemicals banned 30 years.
Dawn dish soap. Need to figure out how to spray it in massive quantities. It cleans up everything
And add white vinegar it will clean up even more 😁
@@jodeeps2287your fine as hell
But it creates a lot of suds when it rains.
Does it work on corporate greed?
True
At what point do we have to get before we as a people, the entire world, come to the understanding that corporations are for one thing and one thing only.... profit. When we finally stop allowing corporate greed to put profit over people will we become a safe and whole people. For that to actually happen though, we must first understand that corporations run our governments.
And Chernobyl? With a communist government mind you.
Who edits this? Why did they break up the story of Deepwater Horizon into many parts?
Because each disaster was taken from a full documentary.
This video could have been hours long if they showed everything in great detail.
It’s the climate lobby .. DH was barely a blip in FL but the climate nuts push it like it was Armageddon. I lived in the Keys and never saw a tar ball.
Shame that owners and managers of dangerous products and materials aren't required to be, or at the very least to listen to, the engineers' warnings. Instead, they prioritize profits over safety.
Shame on government officials that lie or try to diminish the seriousness of these incidents
Yep.
They are never held accountable either
That would be called "regulation", and regulation is a bad thing. It cuts into potential profits and forces businesses to lose money.
Considering there is no state licensing for owners or managers. Every time a manager or owner doesn't want to listen to a licensed engineer that engineer needs to remind them who is the one licensed by the state and who is not.
If it wasn't for Gorbachev and the fall of the Soviet Union we'd probably never herd the name Chernobyl, all we'd know id something went bang in the USSR and is involved radiation.
The worst feature of the Chernobyl RBMK reactor was that it had a positive void coefficient, meaning that as the cooling water boils, reactor activity rapidly increases. Western boiling water reactors have a negative void coefficient.
There was major worry of a second explosion which would pretty much been the end of civilization for all of Europe and surrounding area. Thank goodness that did not happen
@@PJL7095Europe was exposed to a lot of fallout from Chernobyl.
It will be interesting to see what happens to all of the nuclear plants located on coasts as the climate crisis brings about sea rise.
@@Caperhereone hopes we’ll know well in advance, but we’ve also known about how finite petroleum is well in advance…
@@Caperheremy ex was born in Poland 7 months after chernibyl. He has bones in the back of his head that are very bumpy and weird.
@@CaperhereI think we already have a idea from Japan. We know now that we can get energy in many other ways without killing the planet or ourselves. Along with new ways of doing other things as well. The biggest thing is getting people to understand this, but corporations have convinced so many to go against what's good for them and instead go for what makes the corporations richer, while making the people poorer.
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.
"greed" eh? Well if you want to forgo greed then turn off your computer, strip off your clothes, and go live in a hut. Because all those things can't exist without oil and gas PERIOD.
Yeah man GREED, very philosophical.....If you think greed is a bad thing then you're basically advocating for us as a species to never move past the stone age.
I had to pause at the mention of Calcium Carbide. Acetylene has been known to level buildings when welders are careless; a large amount of calcium carbide would produce FAR more.
I’m learning to become a welder and only now have been informed of this, thank you
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.
😢😢😢
It was a man-made disaster that went on for years.
John Steinbeck novel "The Grapes of Wrath" was about what happened to the farmers that were displaced by the "Dust Bowl". I highly recommend it.
Zoning would had avoided schools and nursing home to be near a chemical plant
No, it wouldn't. Money supplies the action.
Tianjin killed more than 3000 people with around 10,000 injuries which was (like EVERY disaster in china) vastly under reported by the ccp to make it look like they are still doing a good job. There were several buildings pretty close to the blast that held over 1,000 workers and the buildings were nearly wiped off the map. Tianjin lost entire fire fighter departments with the ccp claiming that they all "just went home" and not that they had all died.
They did all go home, to heaven
Excellent channel. Live long and prosper.👋
evenin the early 2000's you couldn't even find a gas station open past 6 pm in West, texas
I remember watching a documentary on Chernobyl with my parents on the 20th anniversary of the disaster. I think I was in 2nd grade? Anyways, that documentary messed me up pretty bad for several years, I was constantly afraid of a nuclear explosion happening somewhere in the world. Every piece of media I see about Chernobyl always brings back the same sick feeling in my stomach.
The movie is on Netflix now
Chenorbly and bhopal disasters give me these feelings to-date
I think we at least mostly learned a lesson so you can stop having nightmares
I'm still worried about it!!
@@bozo2954 I doubt it
"Many residents didn't know about the danger of living near a fertilizer plant."
Ummm. Texas. That's all you can say. Texas knows all about putting things near fertilizer storage areas and how badly that can go. They lost almost a whole generation of schoolchildren when a fertilizer ship blew up in (I think it was) Galveston because a school had been built almost right on top of the wharf.
Speechless 😢😢😢
Our refinery gets charged 1 million every year, because it's cheaper than buying new filters. It's went up in flames 4 times now and since they have their own fire dept., they can get away with pretty much anything through their "Vest-Pocket Agreements" deals/bribes.
Good video - it would have been even better if they hadn’t included those shaky, flashing transitions.
Minute men at Chernobyl, were true heros. They sacrificed themselves. Suffered greatly to save others.
~8:00 they cover the West, TX explosion and the narrator says it wasn't isolated, that there were playgrounds and schools nearby. I wonder who was there first, and if it wasn't the plant then why in hell do they build next to such a facility???
This was originally a farming town, so very little homes initially. The town just kind of grew around the plant. It’s still a farming town! I lived there, and was at the plant when it exploded. I’ll never get those images out of my head. But yes, as EMS and firefighters, we always had the fertilizer plant on our minds
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!
@@EShirako GREAT comment! Thank you!!
The uk government also did not tell us of the dangers...i and my little children were in the garden playing..it started to rain, and because it was warm outside, the children continued playing in it. We lived on a hill...in oxfordshire...
The following day it was announced that the radiation cloud from ukraine had passed over us the day we were in the garden!!
BIG BANG ❣
“ Without ammonium nitrate we wouldn’t be able to …. Sustain the world’s population “. Are you saying there aren’t millions of people starving to death every year? Also, those of us living in wealthy countries are being fed food that is losing nutritional value even as it gains chemical pollutants.
Man-made disasters. Good job!
So heart breaking 😢
Very Informative show. I learned somethings I didn't know about Chernobyl and the Union Carbide explosion. I live in Waco, TX which is about 15 South of West, TX. I was here that day and I remember that all.
I hope you didn't learn much, as this documentary is full of errors and inaccuracies! I wouldn't take it for anything more than entertainment value - other than they got the dates right.
Wow never knew about this. Oklahoma, Tiajin, Beirut.
Excellent video
Horribly sad
But excellent video
“To almost every corner of the GLOB”💀😩
So glad you said that 😂

After the Deep Water Horizon disaster people should have boycotted BP gas. Bankrupt BP completely.
BP has its fingers in all the pies mate lol
I'd kinda liken that to... getting your drug dealer arrested because one of his runners tripped over and ripped your bag lol... its so much bigger than that
I stopped at a BP today for gas. I had completely forgotten about the eco disaster until now, and IK it happened a decade ago but now I feel guilty for supporting them...IK that does literally nothing 🫤
That is impossible because unfortunately the human race is at its most fundamental level is Evil, and it's most defining attribute is pure cowardice.
-we willingly or ignorantly demonize, and seek the failure and destruction of the very very few that attempt to bring good to the world. We intuitively KNOW and UNDERSTAND what is good and right yet we choose the dark and insidious through Cowardice.
If one speaks truth, he is shunned, cast out of society, branded the enemy by the entire world. They will take the truth he says and say that his truth is a lie, but here is the cowardice part.
-the whole world will know and understand that which he speaks is the truth, yet they will lie to themselves and seek to deceive others out of pure fear of being ousted or becoming the next enemy of the agenda.
-He will say truths such as "law and order must prevail" [they will say he advocates the oppression of the unfortunate]
- He will say "My people Come first for me as other people must come first for them"[they will say he is uncaring and bigoted"]
- He will say "let truth and freedom be the balance keeper of liberty and justice" [they will say truth must be censored and freedom be regulated to keep you safe]
- He will say "let a man's actions be the scale of his judgment and his effort define his outcome" they will say "you are judged by pigment and bloodline and your outcome is out of your control"

Because humans are too selfish and dependent on their vehicles. We, as humans, could end a lot of things - inflation, wars, etc..if we would boycott things, all stand up against something - but no one has the balls or cares enough. Humans really are the worst thing to ever evolve.
Yea, good luck with that. Bankrupting these large corporations is practically impossible due to their support from local governments. You can boycott them all you want, the miniscule number of people who do won't affect them.
The only way you will ever be able to affect these corporations is if you can convince politicians to stop supporting them, which is also another thing that'll never happen. After all, how do you think politicians are able to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year on a 150k Salary?
Very scary
i remember picking up little hardened rocks made of oil 1-2 years after the disaster. i'll never forget the smell.
Every aspect of this documentary is heartbreaking and needless to say everyone of them was as a result of human negligence or greed.😢😢
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!!
I believe all corporations should be held accountable for anything they do especially if its caused by shotty maintenance or cutting cost
No real need to examine the reasons, it's always greed. Don't fix x because it cost y, don't upgrade y, because it cost x... It's always the same.
When i hear climate change, i think of these events, and not my car or gas stove, or even pizza ovens. 😢
My dad was in the area of the Oklahoma bombing when it happened, but he didn’t get to see it happen. He passed by the place though the next morning and saw the destruction.
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.
Thanks BP. However it wasn't all completely accurate but good enough.
I'm so scared now 😂
Bhopal still not cleaned up? Yikes.
Where's the Beirut blast? Ammonium Nitrate at it's finest.
The real victims of the BP oil spill werent the locals that lost their livelihoods or the wild life, but the shareholders of BP. The went from being super rich to being still super rich because they had hedge funds so they could still make money even though the stock is crashing. Yes that is legal. Also while most americans pay about 30% in taxes, people that make money off stocks only have to pay 15%. So billionaires pay less then a mc donalds employee. Sounds fair to me. Lets start a gofundme for the shareholders of BP.
The abiity of the super rich to bribe politicians (who are given the power to pass bills & laws that protect us, or to end the laws and regulations that protect the public) this is why we're facing an earth that has had it's natural ozone layer destroyed & radiation mutations in the human race from the errors and intentionally continuing to poisin mankind even when they knew what threy were doing. 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.
21:56 Those poor people 😢, greedy corporations
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
Man, it must be really nice to be too big to fail.
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.
Oh, please!
KA BOOM!!
No mention of the approximate 150,000 barrels of DDT rusting away at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of LA.
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 😢😢😢😢
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.
it was a small plant but with one hell of a punch
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.
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☝🏿💯💯💯

Majority of restaurant workers / people working in tourism related businesses qualified and recieved a couple grand. Better than nothing i guess.

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
was expecting to see my bedroom on the list..... phew...
41:07 The child's book is in English, same as the stop sign. Belarus 🇧🇾
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.
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 ❤
Indeed, these types of things will continue to happen, because greed feeds the bottom line.
most of these are either negligence or improper storage
Deepwater Horizon! 😡😡 Gulf of Mexico! 🙏❤
I'm happy they still refer to it as "man-made" in this case
Human-made
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
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.😳
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! 😮
If you like it, then you shouldn't put a rig on it; because it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of *when*. Plus, it's *extreme* violence towards Mother Earth. I"m not telling you anything new.
Believe me, I understand how you feel and what you're referring to, but as long as our world is dependent on fossil fuels, there will be oil rigs around the world. That's actually my profession, I am a truck driver in the oilfield, well I'm in the NE of North America, so here it's gasfields because we produce what's known as "wet gas" here meaning that we produce natural gas along with a light crude known as condensate which is mostly burned off due to it's low profit margin. Still, there are so many safety measures and regulations that our companies have to follow and abide by that things like what happened on the Deepwater Horizon are almost unthinkable. As long as humans are making the decisions and have their hands on the controls, there will be mistakes and disasters. No human design is infallible unfortunately. Let's just hope and pray that these companies learned an important lesson from the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest that you watch the movie on it with Mark Wahlberg. It sheds a very serious light on what goes on on an oil rig and how these things can happen.
…is it bad I read the first part of that like “put a ring on it” by Beyoncé?
@@bepisvonsoopenstein I😅
Believe it or not... other than when accidents happen ( which is ALWAYS human error) nuclear power is incredibly safe
@Bepis Von Soopenstein lol I did the same. I actually thought it was ring, even after i see its rig im still singing it 😂
In fact many times in life people say a word or phrase around me and instantly I hear it like a song with those words.❤
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.
49:30 & unfortunately it did. Beirut ammonium nitrate explosion was 600tons to 1.1ktons of tnt the one in Oklahoma was 20tons.
My friend's ex-husband created that chemical used in the Gulf of Mexico, that caused sickness and death among resuers of birds. He worked with naval weapons in Prince George's County MD.
