#17 challenger did not actually explode. it burst apart with a large steam discharge, and the crew capsule was still intact afterwards. there was no combustion event IIRC, and the crew likely did not die until a little later.

"Three Mile Island is the worst nuclear accident in American history"
Someone didn't do any research, since the amount of radiation leaked from Three Mile Island was less than that in a Banana.
The fact that The China Syndrome came out just before, was the cause of every retarded American freaking out and making it out to be bigger than it was. Like Boston, or 9/11.
Oh and Pearl Harbour should be on here, but i guess you can't put a price on the President of the USA sending thousands of soldiers to their deaths on purpose, just to piss off the American people and force them to demand America join in on WWII. All because FDR wanted to get his hands on the Wartime Surplus and increase his budget.
Actually, this page should only be American Military and how many trillions have been wasted on them.

The election and then re-election of Barack Hussein Obama ranks #1 as the biggest mistake/failure in American History.
