A hunter starts the biggest fire in California history

In the fall of 2003, a lost hunter lit a signal flare near the San Diego County Estates. The fire spread and became the largest fire in California's history. The fire destroyed close to 300,000 acres, 2,322 homes, and killed 14 people.
Someone didn't do any research, since the amount of radiation leaked from Three Mile Island was less than that in a Banana.

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.
truly, i don't know.
