In this video, we’re going to examine three of the worst disasters in human history. Frustratingly, two of these seem to have been entirely preventable, if not for a series of mistakes made by the people involved. Then, in contrast, the third story required a once-in-a-lifetime natural event to occur for what eventually transpired. Either way, in each of them, the effects were beyond devastating.

I recently came across your channel and was instantly hooked! I knew based on the themes it was likely you had covered the stories of welsh coal mines
as someone from wales we are taught a bit about it in school but not nearly enough
we have places like big pit who are very dependant on community and tourism funding to help educate many people on such a steep part of welsh culture and history.
for many years wealthy coal miner owners neglected worker rights and their safety and so many of these tragedies could have easily been preventable; had they took the health and safety of their workers seriously
men, women and children's lives were lost due to such carelessness and it is a massive grievance on welsh heritage
thank you for such a well informed and genuine video based on these events! you have another long time watcher for sure!
just british … if they were not in that mine they would be some place else looting raping murdering across the globe.
Those poor children 🙁 so sad
Story 2, they dug too greedily, and too deep
Good vid
Tranmere are not welsh..
The gresford disaster was so big that a brass band hymn was named after it. Gresford (the miner's hymn) and is well known within certain areas and events in England ( Durham Miners Gala)
so when we say "The Worst Disasters In History" we mean "The Worst Disasters In (American) History"
I love it when a plan comes together.
"snowshED," not "showshit" you bloody Canuck. Day of the rake when?
thanks for the red arrow in the thumbnail. I wouldn’t have been able to see the falling train without it -_-
hay lắm
Yes please make some more interesting disasters. There was a big freeze in the UK in 1962?
I started working for BNSF, who operates the Scenic route through the pass in 2018. I did some research and learned of the Wellington disaster. Me and some friends went to see it, and to say it was a somber but incredible experience would somehow be selling it short.
WHERE YOU GET YOUR DEMs DOG? THEYRE CLEAN AF
I like how this dude managed to mispronounce basically every Eastern Washington town he mentioned.
Can’t believe the miners actually pulled off the “what do we name this” bit
I think one of the saddest parts of the Aberfan disaster was that it happened on the last day of term for the children. They were only meant to be in until lunchtime if memory serves before getting a week off, and had they had just had that day off school, none of them would've perished.
Correction – Tranmere Rovers are not a Welsh team. Tranmere are in the town of Birkenhead. Birkenhead is opposite Liverpool separated by the River Mersey.
Much obliged for this report
Ew
In almost all the stories it was all the humans fault for messing with nature and complete disregard of any safety whatsoever and neglect.
if you think that story is bad, you should see how washington citizens drive in the snow
Imagine my shock when I hear wrexham get a shoutout. Up the town!!!!!!
Thanks. Good information. Pleasant voice and talking. Easy to listen and understand.
Where did you get the death toll from the first story from? 23 From the trains +20 from the Town over and then another 63 in Canada- That’s over100. Maybe you meant 106?
Too many Kamala Harris ads 🤮
Your channel rules. It would be a disservice not to point out the only correction needed in this and other videos of yours. It’s a minor malapropism.
You are using exasperate where exacerbate is the right verb
It's called Football in Europe. Learn before you talk rubbish.
Tranmere not from Wales
Lighting could have struck a tree or large boulder and caused the avalanche ?
No other channel can replace your channel. You do your research and get your facts right and still entertain us. Thank you.
Please work on the pronunciation of Spokane an Wenatchee 9:11
What's up with the pauses for fist pumping, with unobstructed head guarding?! Who has the time at that moment?! Secret Svc? Explain this!
The D.E.N.N.I.S. shaft.
Deny workers basic rights
Ensure no route of escape
Never pay mind to safety protocols
Never let the mine ever be unmanned
Ignore all safety protocols
Safety protocols mean nothing
Tranmere Rovers are not a Welsh Football Team. They are from England 😂
All of these pale in comparison to the disaster that was Fred Trump’s ability to pull out. One mistake and the whole world suffers.
Wenatchee when-at-chEE Spokane spō-can
Spo-cann not spo-cane
Hey, just so you know, Spokane is pronounced "Spo-CAN".
Also, the "a" in Wenatchee is pronounced like "at".
As a ten year old at the time of the Aberfan disaster the effects of the news coverage left a lasting sense of sadness for the children that died. I still recall the event every year on its anniversary over 55 years later.😢
