Hiroshima - when the US dropped an atomic bomb in Japan. Chernobyl when a nuclear reactor failed. A Dupont plant had a leak in Bhopal India and poisoned many people with an insecticide. Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster in Alaska.

The impact of a natural or man-made hazard that negatively affects society or environment Alot of disasters that most think of as a natural disaster, are really man made disasters. Take Hurricane Katrina for example. The end game did not have to be what it was. Bush cut funding to re-build the levies. If the levies would have been updated, the outcome would not have been so devestating. Tsunamis aren't just caused by underwater earthquakes, but explosions on the sea floor created by man. {experiments.} These are just a couple of examples. Handfuls of natural disasters are worsened by man made attributes.

Self explanatory. A disaster which man brought upon themselves. For example the anihilation of the human race brought on by [heaven forbid] a nuclear war between nations. Abortion can be considered a man made disaster, murdering innocent children in the womb.

A man-made disaster is one that occurred ONLY because of the acts of human being. In the Hurricane Katrina scenario, the hurricane was an "act of God." The failure of the levees were a man-made disaster.

Pretty much everything George Bush says or does could be termed a "man made disaster"
