I am not sure what's your point, but Hurricane Katrina was not a human-made catastrophe.

  Building anything that would be hazardous if destroyed on a below sea level area that is known to be hit by hurricanes was. But you are somewhat right. Katrina is a better comparison with Fukishima which, to my knowledge, was a combination of being a poor location and repeated environmental damage that wasn't properly repaired or maintained. The 2015 Tianjin explosion is a better comparison with Chernobyl as that was human error and poor maintenance, not "act of god" weather.

    Aren't you thinking about Deepwater Horizon, the BP platformk oilspill - not Hurrican Katrina?

      Oh, there are plenty of examples of traditional fossil fuels failing due to human error or just being built in really stupid locations. But I was specifically referring to the idea that Katrina was completely different as there was no human error involved in there.
