Catastrophe! The 100 Greatest Disasters of All Time

Some entries begin with a portrayal from a fictional character that was involved in the disaster being discussed. However the author managed to make multiple mistakes throughout the book. He claimed the great Okeechobee hurricane had winds of 500 mph (which is, errrr, impossible) and many times mixes up the terms tsunami and storm surge (these are not the same thing!) among others. If your looking for just a quick guide on some famous disasters then this is fine.
