8 of history's biggest man-made disasters: 1. Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: In 2010, a surge of methane gas traveled through the Deepwater Horizon’s drill pipe. A blowout preventer was in place meant to stop this type of accident should it occur but the preventer failed, allowing the gas to reach the platform, where it exploded and led to the rig catching fire before it sank. Eleven workers were killed at the time. The largest marine oil spill in history, 134 million gallons of oil were released off the coast of Louisiana before being contained almost three months later. The spill killed marine wildlife, damaged ecosystems, destroyed Gulf Coast jobs dependent on tourism and induced negative health effects on residents. Further complicating matter, the oil dispersant used in the cleanup also caused damage by permeating the food chain. 14 years later, the effects of this blunder are still being seen, particularly in wildlife.
