Biggest disaster in human history...



The flooding is the biggest natural disaster in history? The historians at the UN would definitely be clobbered if they competed on "Jeopardy," or perhaps history goes back only a few decades these days.

The Black Death killed half the population of Europe, estimated at 75 million, when the total population was a fraction of what it is today. There were other disasters of smaller size, but far worse than the flooding, like the post-WWI flu pandemic that killed 3% of the world's population.
