The world has witnessed numerous disasters over the centuries and although most are man-made due to wars and terrorism, mother nature certainly dishes out her fair share of damage. While there are many criteria as to what would be considered the “worst” natural disaster ranging from lives lost to cost incurred, the earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis you are about to witness are all horrific in their own right. Here are the 25 worst natural disasters ever recorded.

You are wrong it suppose to be a 9.3 earthquake not 9.5 and earthquake that large could never last ten seconds, those types of earthquake lasts minutes.
I though this was Natural Disasters. Why is number one an epidemic?
#9 That's why Kim Jong Un should BURN TO DEATH!!!!
Technically, #22 had 108 billion US dollars and the costliest in the U.S.
hope these arent actually in order of category of severeness… how do you put andrew infront of katrina, let alone those earthquakes and sunamis' that caused hundreds of thousands of live and probably more relative damage than both hurricanes combined…
2 is the worst top five 3 was plagues this is history
Hurricane Andrew was in 1992
I think this list is back to front
i haye these list channels the people know jack shit
Where is Galveston 1900? It is the most destructive natural disaster in American History
3:37 Japanese earthquake, 15 million dead?
It was A 9.5
The North Korean food shortage, was not a natural, it was man made by their government! Though not on here, in the 1930s Stalin held back grain for feeding the people so he could sell it for money.
The second last entry, the Black Death or also called the Black Plague. We can thank thecatholic church for that! They had this screwed up belief that cats were evil. So theykilled off all the cats and as a result the rats took over carrying in their systems the BlackPlague.
2004 earthquake magnitude 9.5? That was 1960, off the coast of Chile, the 2004 earthquake was 9.1 on the Richter scale.
Pompeii was the worst natural disaster!
just for shits and giggles, anyone catch these retards' "worst every" bollcoks? fucking Americans have no blue.
The Plague of Athens (436BC) killed nearly 100,000 (estimated) and was largely responsible for the downfall of Classic Greece. But I'm happily surprised to see the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-19 as #1 since it's been largely overlooked.
Feel the BERN!
it was a lahar not a pyroclastic flow that destroyed armero
typhoon nina (1975) crete earthquake (365) laki eruption (1783)
indian ocean quake was estimated 9.2 magnitude
this could have been better.
I like hurricanes
You should put the 1993 "Storm of the century."
15 million killed in Japan. Wrong
what about the mother wave (a.k.a Queen of all tsunamis) of japan and Tokyo 1,000 survived and 500 inured but 2 million dead! and 5,000 missing
i like turtles
On 12th of May in 2008, a 8.4 magnitude EARTHQUAKE shocked Sichuan province in China. There were over 100,000 people lost their lives and about 400,000 people injured after this.
Eighteen million were killed in that Japan earthquake a few years ago?
What about the Mexico City Earthquake of 1985? Weren't there over 10,000 killed? That disaster caused a major shakeup of Mexico's government!
Although you didn't mention Galveston or Krakatoa, thank you for mentioning at least one of the yellow river or Yangtze river floods in Chine. Death tolls of 3 million are hard to even comprehend and 2 happened in the 1900's, but due to China famously not reporting there own disasters to the world few people know about them. As always good job with these videos!
What about hurricane hugo
So many earthquakes!
Awesome but pompeii should of been on there
You should of put the Galveston hurricane of 1900 that claimed 6000-12000 lives. (Most deadly natural disaster in U.S. History)
You forgot the eruption of the volcano Mt Pelee on the island of Martinique in the Carribean,May 8th,1902. The volcano was 5 miles away from the city of Saint Pierre. An election was coming up so the authorities lied to the people about the danger. The owner and editor of the newspaper ran a fake interview with an alleged volcanologist to reassure the public . At about 8 a.m on the morning of May 8th 1902 the City died.A pyroclastic flow burst out of the side of the mountain. It was an estimated 1300 to 1800 degrees F . In 3 minutes over 30,000 people died with only 2 known survivors.
R.i.p people of Christchurch, NZ
Worst natural disaster? Me taking a shit
Plus it said ever recorded but has Katrina been recorded
Dunno
Oh so you fucking add katrina. Whilst this lidt is a "deadliest" list.
You fucking idiota
number 23 is 1 year before the Indian ocean.!
The European Heat Wave of 2003 is the 8th worst natural disaster, really? Sure, crop damage was there, but nothing seems to be extraordinary devastating here. The maximum temperatures recorded were around 41* C, which is at best only annoying – not fatal. A lot of places on earth face greater temperatures every summer.
