that shit is no joke, i lived there and nobody really belives me when i tell them that you turn on the news and all you hear about is eldery people melting in their houses

9/14/2005 10:53:11 PM

eh, less democrats...

9/14/2005 10:56:52 PM

great outlook

most of the deaths were eldery people, who were probably republicans

9/14/2005 10:58:22 PM

Old people want their medication.

9/14/2005 11:01:46 PM

When I made the topic the death count was at around 300...it obviously grows daily

I guess none of you still realize that news sources called Katrina "the worst natural disaster to ever hit this country"...but you see its not

9/15/2005 10:32:24 AM

find 25 disasters with more than 300 deaths in the us
i cant

and i never saw any news sources call it the worst "as far as deaths go, SO FAR"

i could never find the link

9/15/2005 10:47:15 AM

you got google

i found a site that had a good list but they only had 19 with over 300 deaths

9/15/2005 10:47:58 AM

did it include 9/11 for example? or just natural disasters

9/15/2005 10:48:48 AM

the list i found had everything from mine explosions, to airplane crashes, to floods, to volcanos, bridge collapses, etc...

and yes, 9/11

i mean it may be true, but you haven't presented any evidence to support it and i cant find any

"Theodore Steinberg, author of "Acts of God: The Unnatural History of Natural Disasters in America,""

that sounds very interesting. think i'll have to go check that book out at the library.

as far as how deadly and costly disasters are, they need to sometimes be put into perspective of the era when they occurred. there are obviously more people living in the US now than say 100 yrs ago, so of course most large disasters will have increasing death rates, even with superior technology. dumb people will still be dumb as well.

as far as new orleans, a city below water level on the gulf coast, well come on it was a matter of time before this happened.

9/15/2005 11:03:00 AM

more people does NOT equal higher death rates

^ He means from disasters, because of the relative increase in population density over the affected area(s) of the disaster.

Not increased death rates in general.

9/15/2005 12:44:12 PM

^thank you

9/15/2005 12:55:09 PM

it seemed like the worst ones happened a long time ago. these were industrial accidents (pre safety requirements) and natural disasters (no prediction)

of course this was just something i noticed, i didnt really look at it long enough to know for sure it was true

9/15/2005 3:12:22 PM

up to #7

9/15/2005 4:08:49 PM

somehow a week and a half ago it was already #1...i dont get it...was the media exaggerating?

9/15/2005 4:12:22 PM

#1 in the Disaster Pre-Season Poll

i guess none of you people watch the news...just turn on the daily show, jack off, turn off the tv

9/16/2005 11:59:27 AM

funny thing is all those other disasters were in the early 1900s when hurricanes just showed up out of the blue and communication wasnt as good. most people who died in those had no clue it was coming. today we have bettter construction and everything so almost nobody should die. if the exact same gavelston hurricane came today less than 20 people would die.

9/16/2005 5:29:54 PM

9/16/2005 5:32:26 PM
