The Deep Water Horizon disaster of 2010 inspired me to write my previous Listverse list - Top Ten Recent American Industrial Disasters. Today it is the ongoing industrial disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant complex in Japan. Though the nuclear disaster in Japan is still unfolding, it has a good chance of surpassing Chernobyl as the single greatest industrial disaster (nuclear) of all time and quite possibly will go down as the single greatest industrial disaster of any kind when it is all said and done.
