Inverse of the military, where usually a commanding officer would be prosecuted, like Lt William Calley at My Lai. And he was only prosecuted because half his platoon were decent people who didn’t like to murder and rape.
@KellyHartley-t6w Yeah, right. Don't know if you know this, doubt that you do based on the comment, but EVERYONE'S head rolled when Three Mile Island happened, and Chernobyl is in RUSSIA, where things are different. Back in the 80s a bunch of EXECUTIVE heads rolled when it was discovered a nuke plant in NC wasn't built right. Time to get educated. Let me guess, Demokrat?
of course it wasnt, america has had enemies globally for centuries now. and they supplied the militant groups that would later become terrorist groups because they were anti-communist (this was back during the cold war). they put people in power that are pro-US, which never bodes well with the civilians of a country, especially when they're a brutal dictator.
I don´t thing some of these should be considered The Worst Mistakes in Human History. Like Hiroshima was intentional not a mistake. In that Mars mission, no human died, and Soviet Mars missions were way more expensive disasters.

Because most people and "professionals" are stupider than they present themselves as they are. More lighthearted example I'd say is Kitchen Nightmares - "professional chefs" that cannot cook usually the simplest dish
Mindset often sources from some kind of selfishness, usually when someone wants to make their name. In disasters that affect that many peoplr atleast, sometimes risks are sadly part of some experiments The mindet here can be: "..but if it works, I'm going to be globally famous"
There was a baby's deadbody image after the Bhopal gas tragedy, its head half buried with a dead eye looking straight into the camera, it traumatized me for so long.
@guineapiglady2841 Cold War air force veterans made up the bulk of the Astronaut roles in the 1980s. He knew a lot more about them than we did. Now Yuri Gagarin was a real hero , openly defying Soviet atheism to Prem Krushchev’s face. Really showed him Kuzka’s Mother.
They weren’t heroes, but victims of poor management and undervaluation of human life. Completely avoidable deaths... People love throwing around the word “hero” when they want to shirk accountability.
If you want to see a great series on Chernobyl HBO has a short series called "Chernobyl" and this docudrama gives a really good explanation of what happened.
1:02 one thing about this nuclear reactor that they had the rods that they insert into the reactor to stop the reaction had carbon tips so basically it was like when they pushed the scram button it basically was just like pushing the plunger on a detonator US reactors do not have that type of system, but Russia had their own design. It wasn’t an enclosed system. It was an open system if it would’ve been enclosed, a disaster may have been prevented because the rods that they put into the reactor would’ve been designed differently. The reactor went all the way over to 3000 MW in the end.
@revivesauerwein5717 The power collapse was due to Xenon-135 poisoning. At such low power levels, the xenon buildup acted as a 'brake' that kept pushing the power down, making the reactor's state unstable and 'unstoppable' in its decline. This highlighted a major design flaw in the RBMK reactor, which was never intended to be operated under such conditions.
Fun fact, the actuall chemical reaction that lead to an explosion was simple H2 + O2 -> H2O, the H2 builded up under the graphite met the O2 from the air at some point
And the guys from the reactor didn't know that this flaw exist, that's why it wasn't their fault. The only people that knew about it was a small circle of engineers that made research about which was obviously censorshiped. GG USRR
The funny thing is, there is a thriving ecosystem - a wildlife preserve, really - in the off limits area around Chernobyl. Humans may not be able to take the radiation, but other species like wolves, bears, bison and wild horses are living their best lives. Some have clearly become radiation resistant, with only limited indications that a few animals have been negatively impacted.
Wifies, when I leave this place, I’m not gonna remember you as the wifies I used to know, I’m gonna remember you as the wifies that’s kind and cares for other people
if you are planning to make a part 2, here's a suggestion. The Ojhri Camp Incident Rawalpindi Pakistan. A huge explosion in the weapons factory, 100s of rocket launchers in the skies killing many civilians.
My mom was 5yo when Bhopal incident happened n according to my grandparents she was crying for so long that dayyy saying she wanna go meet a relative who lives v far but something about that crying made my grandparents visit that relative that trip saved 😭☝️
Most of these seems like they happened because a few warnings happened and those in charge ignored those warnings. Chernobyl, Challenger, and 9/11 all had warnings and those in charge ignored them.
Chernobyl. This wasn't human error, but a decision by a stupid government that threatened dismissals and imprisonment if the order wasn't followed. Pure hubris.
The Challenger disaster is another one that was completely avoidable if the ones in charge would have listened to the experts instead of worrying about politics.
The Bhopal Gas Tragedy was way to horrific than u think , and due to the animation u may think that due to a small pipe burst, this all happened, But there 2 major leaks that day ,when the gas escaped the tanks there is nothing u can do to save , The company tried to protect itself by saying that the gas was not lethal and the doctors also didn't know how to treat patients nearly every clinic to every hospital was flooded with patients, The Bhopal Gas Tragedy is the worst example of negligence and Cost cutting 💔
You are absolutely correct - this was an unspeakable tragedy. All those people had no idea what was happening or why it was happening. Also, I noticed the animation made it seem like that giant tank was inside where the building itself could help contain the release, when in actuality, the tanks were outside albeit underground, so when the system failed, the release was outdoors and could not be contained. The outcome was horrific.
My mom told that when she was 9 and chernobyl disaster happened they were treated and informed about it a week and half after this even if that happened at the border of our country
And in Ukraine the government didn’t talk about it at all. They were preparing for the holiday. So while in Europe parents kept their children at home, in the middle of Kyiv people were celebrating. My father helped to deal with this mess in Chornobyl and because of that he still has bad health
So insane that the heads of NASA knew the dangers and went ahead with the launch anyway - aren't they supposed to like, not be the stupidest people alive?
i’m not sure how the mars mission was one of the worst human mistakes ever, all nasa lost was money but this video is the first time i’ve heard of it so maybe with more detail id see why.
It was actually the first ever atomic bomb actually was exploded near a town in everyone and they probably die because they thought it was snow. They were never warned.
14:21 technically no It was called “as unsinkable as we can make her” 15:22 and back then lifeboats were seen as like ferries from a damaged/sinking ship to a safe ship as they thought maybe ships would be around
It's scary how often 'human error' is just a polite way of saying 'negligence and greed'.
And of course all the blame for the error gets shoveled onto the lower workers never the bosses and CEOs that make all the money.
Inverse of the military, where usually a commanding officer would be prosecuted, like Lt William Calley at My Lai. And he was only prosecuted because half his platoon were decent people who didn’t like to murder and rape.
Youre not suicidal, right?
@KellyHartley-t6wnot in the case of the challenger at least
@KellyHartley-t6w Yeah, right. Don't know if you know this, doubt that you do based on the comment, but EVERYONE'S head rolled when Three Mile Island happened, and Chernobyl is in RUSSIA, where things are different.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity.
Human stupidity is finite... for some people.
It is simply the failure or refusal to cultivate higher reasoning
Btw, Universe is finite by many scientists. but human mind can´t just comprehend the enormous scale.
Ore your mom big mac per day counter
@enriqueguys Come back when you fixed your English, pal...
So 9/11 wasn't out of nowhere
Fr
They had tried once before to bring down the towers so the government knew they were a target.
@KellyHartley-t6wand yet they still succeeded because of laziness and carelessness
@umuhyacinth6144here before the ”Obviously the Jews did it” guys
of course it wasnt, america has had enemies globally for centuries now. and they supplied the militant groups that would later become terrorist groups because they were anti-communist (this was back during the cold war). they put people in power that are pro-US, which never bodes well with the civilians of a country, especially when they're a brutal dictator.
10:25 why did bro draw their eyes like that 💀
Cause that’s what they look like
😂
Pretty accurate if you ask me
Because its realistic.
I don´t thing some of these should be considered The Worst Mistakes in Human History. Like Hiroshima was intentional not a mistake. In that Mars mission, no human died, and Soviet Mars missions were way more expensive disasters.
So was Pearl Harbor
@elizabethjache6311Hiroshima was necessary.. but now we have anime..
Why don’t you shut up and enjoy the video redditor “when ashtually that’s not a mistake 🤓”
@joe-i9f5b this right here 👏
Yeah but later people relized that maybe it was a mistake because of the catastrophic events that happened
That 9/11 one makes my blood boil. That tragedy could've been avoided!
Honestly everything on this list was avoidable which sucks
Our government did it! The inside job!
@guineapiglady2841 funny how you still believe that
@Soal2083 I do not have tin foil cap. I just happened to believe the conspiracy theories.
The most avoidable one was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki…
Some of these mistakes are so massive that we’re still dealing with the consequences today. History is a harsh teacher.
Instead of being a yapper why not list them instead? 🤡

@vincentgonzales3312syfm
those poor innocent ppl in hiroshima didnt deserve to die 😭
We did it for world peace
I just have to ask how the hell can one be considered a professional of any kind when the HIGH POTENTIAL of danger is completely ignored
Because most people and "professionals" are stupider than they present themselves as they are. More lighthearted example I'd say is Kitchen Nightmares - "professional chefs" that cannot cook usually the simplest dish
Mindset often sources from some kind of selfishness, usually when someone wants to make their name.
In disasters that affect that many peoplr atleast, sometimes risks are sadly part of some experiments
The mindet here can be: "..but if it works, I'm going to be globally famous"
one of the worst mistakes is basically that a lot of these warnings were ignored/dismissed. smdh😐so many people could have still been here
There was a baby's deadbody image after the Bhopal gas tragedy, its head half buried with a dead eye looking straight into the camera, it traumatized me for so long.
When is that?
I saw it on TikTok im traumatized too
@R4ntaholicin the 1980s
I know that exact picture you’re talking about. That baby’s eyes are haunting.
Ronald Reagan later acknowledged the Challenger crew later that night in his speech calling them heroes.
Hhahahhahaha! What a moron! They weren't heros!
Heroes or not their deaths were avoidable.
@Soal2083 i’m not a moron. I don’t have time to correct it.
@guineapiglady2841 Cold War air force veterans made up the bulk of the Astronaut roles in the 1980s. He knew a lot more about them than we did. Now Yuri Gagarin was a real hero , openly defying Soviet atheism to Prem Krushchev’s face. Really showed him Kuzka’s Mother.
They weren’t heroes, but victims of poor management and undervaluation of human life. Completely avoidable deaths...
People love throwing around the word “hero” when they want to shirk accountability.
My thoughts go out to all those who have been affected by these disasters, even if some of them happened decades ago.
10:08 because they wanted it to happen
YEP
I usually don’t care about 9/11
USA is bad but man they are so dam hardheaded
That’s what I thought while watching too. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but this one is sooo obvious in my opinion
15:28 "I hate you"

U don’t how MUCH I LOVE HISTORY!❤

Then what was it?

"50000 people used to live here,now it's a ghost town"
There we go, this is what I was looking for
Calling the Hiroshima bomb a mistake is a poor understanding of history, especially what came before the bombs.
I know someone personally named Tosh Kano his fetus somehow survived the bomb despite being only half a mile away. He’s still strong today.
The funny thing is, there is a thriving ecosystem - a wildlife preserve, really - in the off limits area around Chernobyl. Humans may not be able to take the radiation, but other species like wolves, bears, bison and wild horses are living their best lives.

10:18 drawing the eyes like that is crazy
Are you telling me that the Chernobyl nuclear power didn’t kill that much people but a simple gas leak killed hundreds of thousands of people
Bhopal would not even use christmas day in joy
Naaah not the Gorlok reference ☠
Gorlok is a stern mistress. Stern, but fair.

Hiroshima was no mistake, and neither was Nagasaki. You want to fight to the finish? That's just FINE.
if you are planning to make a part 2, here's a suggestion. The Ojhri Camp Incident Rawalpindi Pakistan. A huge explosion in the weapons factory, 100s of rocket launchers in the skies killing many civilians.
Hiroshima wasn’t a mistake. It was a message.
15:52 THATS THE Lusitania BLUE PRINT
Sane blue print
The Towers...
The Nukes...
The Oceanliner...
No mistakes.

Excellent video.
You forgot that British solider that had the chance to kill hitler but didn’t
James Rowley was 2nd place to the Challenger (meaning he just missed out) and on live tv, watched the explosion, he had lots of emotions
15:04 Aaaahhh, it's Gorlock the Destroyer!
This is why they don’t let me run the big machines. That and my insistence on popping wheelies.
One thing i wanna say is that titanic could bear an iceberg but the burning of coal makes the wall unstable and it can't bear the iceberg anymore
Welp my grandma probably has a story to tell
So much space failures and gas leaks
Hope everyone enjoying the snow
Glad you mentioned the Bhopal gas disaster, it's one of the worst in India and people here are still paranoid about it.
Chernobyl made me cry
Bro why are most of the incidents in August 😅
My mom was 5yo when Bhopal incident happened n according to my grandparents she was crying for so long that dayyy saying she wanna go meet a relative who lives v far but something about that crying made my grandparents visit that relative that trip saved 😭☝️
Most of these seems like they happened because a few warnings happened and those in charge ignored those warnings. Chernobyl, Challenger, and 9/11 all had warnings and those in charge ignored them.
Chernobyl is the Worst Nuclear Power Plant disaster ahead of Fukushima
Tsutomu Yamaguchi is just built different 😭
You have to be a genius to work in any nuke plants.
Fun fact: în the Hiroshima bombing where ant walkers. People whose skin was burned exposing theyr flesh. And theyr eyes where missing
I want these Mistakes again 🤩
Yk how many life's were taken during these- millions u rlly don't what em to happen again
This is a good one.
I don't think Hiroshima was a mistake, it was fully intended
So sad for those who were victims of someone else´s mistake.
50 thousand people use to live here. now its a ghost town
15:27 " i hate you"
Very scary warning
Most of these are tragic 😢
bro never disappoints
Chernobyl. This wasn't human error, but a decision by a stupid government that threatened dismissals and imprisonment if the order wasn't followed. Pure hubris.
I feel like you could do an honorable mention about the submarine that killed those people when they tried observing the Titanic too
There is a show called The Railway Men that is about the gas leak in Bopal India, good show definitely recommend it
15:03 didn’t expect optimus prime 😂
13:23 the impact frames
The Challenger disaster is another one that was completely avoidable if the ones in charge would have listened to the experts instead of worrying about politics.
The Department of Homeland Security wasn't created until more than a year after 9/11 happened.

Can u explain how the blight country started and how it end long
