A disaster is the tragedy of a natural or human-made hazard (a hazard is a situation which poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment) that negatively affects society or environment.
In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of hazards and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability are not considered a disaster, as is the case in uninhabited regions.
Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits – more than 95 percent of all deaths caused by disasters occur in developing countries, and losses due to natural disasters are 20 times greater (as a percentage of GDP) in developing countries than in industrialized countries.
A disaster can be defined as any tragic event that may involve at least one victim of circumstance, such as an accident, fire, or explosion.

For the November MSH - Disaster
i got really shocked by the photo of the 'Yomiuri' newspaper i read on the airplane back to japan.
a 4 year old girl who lost her parents and sister have written a letter to her mother.
'dear mama. i hope you are alive. are you fine?'
she spent an hour to write this letter and fell asleep.
i felt really sad....
in Kyoto , many people took pictures of maiko(geisya) having a box for donation in 1minute walk from my apartment. the only thing i can do now is just donation, but i think every people not only in japan but also in the world are thinking about victims and are cheering you.
be strong!!

"SS Eastland was a passenger ship based in Chicago and used for tours. On 24 July 1915, the ship capsized while tied to a dock in the Chicago River. In total, 844 passengers and crew were killed in what was the largest loss of life from a single shipwreck on the Great Lakes."

Another tale of incompetence and greed. Notice a theme?
The conductor of Freeport-McMoRan’s Clifton job prepares to dismount and line the runaway track switch for his train. The steep grades between here and the mines in Morenci will put a runaway rail car or out-of-control train at lethal speeds, potentially in mere seconds. Like many of the runaway truck ramps found on highways and freeways, this spur protects the many town residents below it from a potential disaster.
Look upon the field of snow
To find the desert sea
Under the ice the springs will flow to release
Fecundities like a natural disaster .

something terrible happened yesterday. my camera decided that it wanted to almost bathe the sensor in dust. i am not talking one or two dust spots, i am talking many. so i attempted to dislodge them with a blower. worst. idea. ever. now i have to send away my camera to be properly cleaned :( and will be cameraless for 3-5 days.
as if this wasnt enough, in the morning i went to turn on my computer, and it refused to boot. having some knowledge of computers i attempted a fix, but this issue was beyond me. i enlisted the help of another far greater than i at computer repair, and managed to bring it back from the brink of death. however all of this meant that i didnt have time to post a photo of the day.
now because i no longer have a camera to work with, i have decided to scour through my old photos and re-edit them, and show some of my best work.
this was a shot taken at the beginning of 2015 down at petrel cove SA. i was lucky enough for this photo to be chosen for an editors choice on 500px, so far the proudest moment of my photography journey to date.
i feel i have rambled enough. but if you have happened to have read this far, i thank you. feel free to offer some CC below if you wish

The 1911 mine fire, which started in Pancoast Mine's wooden engine house, killed 72 miners, mostly Polish, Slovak and Hungarian immigrants. Here is a compilation of contemporary reports from a Scranton newspaper. Police had to be called in to control undertakers, who were eager to claim unclaimed bodies, because the mining company would pay good money for their services.
The next day, April 8th, 1911, an explosion at the Banner Mine near Birmingham, Alabama killed 128 workers.
Castle AFB was a Cold War era Strategic Air Command installation in central California. It was converted to civilian use in 1995, but it still has some restricted areas that are spectacular relics of the war on American soil that never happened.
This backlit marker board showing a map of the base was hidden behind curtains inside the "War Room", the nerve center of the base. Most of the movable equipment in the room had been removed years ago and everything that was left had a thick coating of dust.

The entrance to a bumblebee nest. The bumblebees return to the nest with leg bags full of pollen. But it is pointless, the wax moth, (Aphomia sociella) catarpillars have hatched and have ravaged the nest eating all the bee larvae. The bees still enter their nest oblivious to the parasitic invasion. Unfortunately it is game over for the bees and the nest. Photo here flic.kr/p/2maPeeG Larger format video flic.kr/p/2mb13BJ
My computer suffered a complete disaster this weekend. A spyware virus apparently snuck past the software and firewall stuff and completely knocked out the laptop. I was not able to run any software of any importance and ended up taking it to a guy that managed to clean it up for me. UNFORTUNATELY - he had to wipe the hard drive clean and start over. FORTUNATELY - I have all of my files and photos backed up, so I hopefully lost very little other than ALL OF MY FREAKING SOFTWARE!!!!. Time will tell. I am going to spend the next day or two reloading all of my stuff.
Life can suck, but it would suck way worse without a very thorough backup plan.
