At least two.

  actually 3-4 ORDERS of magnitude worse Say two people were to eventually die here. Bhopal: 20,000. That's literally 4 orders of magnitude worse. And nobody has died or been seriously injured yet, so even that is premature. Being chicken-little is not helpful. The next stage is being "boy who cried wolf". OP: Let's keep things in at least a little balance.

    So I didnt know what to compare for the orders of magnitude. Like you said, by death it's more than 4 (since as far as i know no one has died yet). But by affected area, toxicity normalized mass of spill, amount of ground water affected, etc, I don't know how they compare. And a cursory search showed it would be hard to get clean data. But any way you slice it, you're right. Two orders of mag is not enough. Bohpal was such a tragedy :(
