In ranking the top ten severe accidents in the energy
industry, the Number of fatalities recorded was the basis of judgement. The
Chernobyl nuclear disaster ranked first due to the potency of its danger after 25 years though it did not record the highest fatality rate.
1. Chernobyl:
Ukraine April26, 1986. The total number of death recorded is still being
disputed. The area has remained unsuitable for human habitat cutting across
three countries: Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
2.
Two large dams (Banqiao Dam and Shimandan
Dam) recorded a death toll of over 26,000 In Zhumadian, China August 4-8, 1975
3. Machchu II:
A dam failure with death toll in the region of 25,000 happened in Morvi, India
August 11, 1979. The cause of accident was attributed to poor Engineering
design.
4. Bhopal:
methylisocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide plant into a densely populated
area of Bhopal, in central India killing more than 10,000 people.
5. Vaiont Dam:
An arch dam whose left bank was actually the toe of an ancient landslide. The
ancient slide became unstable in October 1963 displacing water which generated
a gigantic wave causing more than 2,000 deaths.
6. Honkeiko
Collery: Coal dust explosion at the Honkeiko coal mine near Benxi in
Japanese-occupied Manchuria, 1,549 miners died, 26 April 1942
7. Courrieres Mine disaster: 1,099 miners (this included many young
children) died in a coal dust explosion in Courrieres, France, 10 March 1906,
8.
A gas explosion at the Mitsubishi Hojyo coal mine in Kyushu, Japan, killed 687 miners,
making it the deadliest mine accident in Japan's history. Decembber, 15, 1914,
9.
An explosion at the Laobaidong mine in Datong, Shanxi province killed 684 miners,9 May
1960
10. San Juanico
Disaster: large quantities of LPG leaked from a pipeline. The (heavy)
LPG-gas dispersed over the wall into the surroundings and was ignited by fire
resulting in over 550 deaths.
