minamata disease in Japan you know that Japan is primarily a country that relies heavily on Seafood but early in the 1930s chiso Corporation thought they could dump a dangerous substance called methyl mercury into minamata Bay of course because many people RI on fishing for their livelihood and diet people living close to the Bay ate contaminated Seafood you could imagine eating raw sushi laced with methyl Mercury for that added chemical flavor during the 1950s people started experiencing severe symptoms like numbness muscle weakness and loss of vision some fell into Comas or even died meanwhile children developed severe deformities in 1968 the government finally saw the link between the Factory's waste and the disease the corporation was ordered to compensate the victims and clean the bay to reduce Mercury emissions despite dumping toxic waste into the bay for more than 30 years and causing thousands of deaths chiso still exists today Bal gas tragedy put yourself in the shoes of one of the citizens of B PA India during the middle of the 1980s you went about your regular day before taking a good night's rest all while a pesticide plant was operating just outside your doorstep however on December 2nd 1984 the safety systems of the Union Carbide pesticide plant started faing releasing 40 tons of Highly toxic gas used to produce pesticides the gas entered the atmosphere covering the populated neighborhood surrounding the plant so what you thought was just your usual sleep turned into a permanent Slumber as the poison poisonous gas reached your neighborhood if you woke up seeing your ancestors in the afterlife you were one of the lucky ones who died in their sleep but thousands of people woke up coughing with their eyes burning as they struggled to breathe no one knew what was happening because they were under attack by an invisible foe by morning thousands of people were already dead it is estimated that as many as 15,000 people died overnight due to the effects of the toxic gas released from the pesticide plant some people survived the event but were left with severe health issues including blind birth defects and breathing problems Union Carbide still insists that a worker sabotaged the plant however the company was eventually forced to pay the Indian government $470 million to settle the case still the gases effects lingered causing environmental damage and making people sick Chernobyl disaster poisoning you're probably already familiar with Chernobyl because it has been described in urban legends as one of the creepiest places on the planet but the story behind it is as tragic as it is dark in 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Prat Ukraine exploded but the explosion wasn't the most dangerous part of this tragedy instead the radioactive material released into the air turned this event into one of the most infamous disasters you'll be surprised to know that the radiation levels released by Chernobyl were 400 times higher than the Hiroshima nuke since radiation is invisible it's like a silent and Deadly Assassin that's ready to kill anyone in its path people nearby didn't see the danger that was about to come especially if they weren't close enough to to the explosion if you were there you'd think twice about leaving your home radiation that's just some madeup stuff however the radiation was real and so potent that people quickly felt its effects citizens and First Responders alike suffered from radiation sickness leading to dizziness vomiting and burns some of them died of their injuries within weeks around a total of 30 people died from the explosion and radiation sickness meanwhile 60 more people died from cancer and other long-term effects of radiation exposure The Fallout quickly spread across Europe contaminating land water and Food Supplies Prat was immediately evacuated turning it into a ghost town today there is a large uninhabitable Zone around Chernobyl because the radiation levels are still dangerously High decades after the disaster Love Canal chemical poisoning Love Canal in Niagara Falls New York sounded like a good neighborhood to start a loving family in fact many people lived peacefully in this area minding their own business but decades before you were born on Love Canal a company called hooker chemical buried 22,000 tons of toxic waste in an abandoned Canal thinking they got away with it after covering the canal full of waste they sold it to a local school board for just a dollar at least they still made money out of it fast forward to the 1970s and Love Canal had become a huge neighborhood but the toxic waste wouldn't keep itself a secret forever because it started seeping into the ground contaminating the soil and water so you and your friends started getting sick some of your relatives probably suffered from cancer one of your cousins was also born with deformities but none of you knew what was going on but when the situation got so dire the government started a huge investigation that Unearthed the toxic secret hiding underneath Love Canal the president quickly declared a state of emergency and relocated hundreds of families away from the neighborhood so even if you didn't get sick you could just imagine the shock of learning that you had to lose your home and get relocated far away because your neighborhood was actually secretly poisoning you and everyone else the government passed the Superfund law that demolished and cleaned up Love Canal some areas are now safe to live in but it's best not to start a family there because those toxic chemicals could still be hiding somewhere ready to pounce at any moment Flint Water Crisis the Flint Water Crisis of 2014 is the perfect example of what happens when City officials forget about public health just to save a bit more cash they were like we need more money for cars so let's change our water source nothing could possibly go wrong so they decided to switch the Water Source from Lake hiron to the Flint River the problem was that they were too cheap even to consider how corrosive the water in the Flint River was corrosive water can essentially melt through metal slowly but steadily untreated corrosive water going through lead pipes is a recipe for disaster lead started leeching into the people's drinking water making the water supply toxic because lead is toxic especially to Children residents soon started experiencing symptoms they got rashes and lost hair meanwhile children started having developmental problems when they noticed that their water was yellowish and had a strange smell things started to make sense still public officials were stubborn we assure you that nothing is wrong with the water supply you're just imagining things residents activists and researchers started working together to expose the truth as it became clear that the water contained high lead levels in 2015 Flint officials were forced to return to the original water source but the damage had been done because thousands of people had already been infected and at least 12 people died mean while public officials were either fired or forced to resign due to the disaster Tylenol cyanide poisonings it's 1982 and you're one of the Seven Chicago people who took a Tylenol capsule because you're suffering from a headache it turned out that it took away not only your headache but also your life as your soul floated out of your lifeless body what you thought was an over-the-counter pain reliever relieved more than just pain at that time Tylenol was one of the most popular pain relievers in the country and it still is today if you suffer from headaches must pain and other aches you just pop a Tylenol but Johnson and Johnson the company behind Tylenol didn't know that their product had been laced with cyanide a deadly compound because of the seven deaths people all over the country stopped buying Tylenol believing that they were going to be sent to the Afterlife by taking a pill after all seven people died in the incident Johnson and Johnson meanwhile moved fast to protect its image due to the issue recalling all Tylenol products from the market the company worked extensively to find the culprits behind the incident as Johnson and Johnson and the police believe that this was a deliberate Act of murder instead of an accident after all no company would ever accidentally put cyanide into their product but no one was ever charged or convicted if you have a headache take a chill pill instead of a Tylenol and drop by our Discord to hang out with us Tokyo subway sarin attack this guy named shoko asahara was literally obsessed with chemical weapons so much that he started a doomsday cult his cult Al shrio predicted that World War II was going to happen soon and that chemical weapons were going to take the place of explosives and nukes in his attempt to make his doomsday prediction a reality he ordered his people to launch an attack on the Tokyo subway system during rush hour he wanted to cause as much chaos as possible while killing many people along the way five cult members boarded different trains each carrying a bag filled with liquid sarin a highly toxic gas they punctured the bags left them in the trains and allowed the deadly gas to leak out and spread the sarin gas caused Widespread Panic and chaos in the trains killing a total of 13 people thousands of people were lucky enough to have survived the incident but were left injured others suffered long-term health effects the authorities quickly went after the Cults after branding Amin Rico a terrorist organization instead of just a band of weirdos it turned out that asahara had been stockpiling weapons and chemicals for years preparing his people for his prediction of a world-ending war asahara was eventually arrested for his crimes and executed by hanging in 2018 felidi tragedy if you're a pregnant woman living in the 1950s the lamide was supposed to be your best friend every morning just pop a pill and say goodbye to morning sickness but we can't really say that it's good for your baby the lamide was a drug designed by a German company just after the end of World War II but it was also rumored that drugs similar to it were used by the Nazis in their concentration camp experiments regardless the lamide worked like a charm when it rolled out into the market and everyone loved that they could just take a pill to treat their dizziness and headaches however because it was a favorite among pregnant women the side effects started showing in newborn babies those German scientists did not see that coming thousands of infants were born with deformities and missing limbs it took a while for people to link this with alomide it turned out that the lamide could reach the womb and have all sorts of effects on a developing baby causing it to be born with deformities while it wasn't necessarily a mass poisoning event it still led to 10,000 babies born with defects most of those infants didn't even survive long after they were born those who did survive couldn't live normal lives the company responsible for the development of the drug was criminally charged but settled out of court spending millions of dollars of compensation great London smog if you lived in London during the 1950s chances are you got out of the house all clean but got home at the end of the day coughing coal that's because London was one of the centers of industry in Europe at that time and plenty of factories used lowquality coal to run their Machines of course people back then got so used to this that they never thought that something could go wrong however a weird and unusual phenomenon called temperature inversion happened during a cold winter normally smoke disperses into the atmosphere but because of temperature inversion smoke got trapped close to the ground by a layer of warm air above it basically it's like London got trapped in a huge Dome that kept all of the smog from the factories inside the city because of that the entire city was enveloped in smog that no one could see the smog was so thick that no one could drive their way through the streets you had to stretch your arms forward to feel your way when walking the smog entered homes theaters hospitals and other buildings it's like you're in front of a fireplace breathing all the smoke coming from the flame 5 days later people started having breathing problems hospitals were full of patients struggling to breathe and suffering from pneumonia it's estimated that around 4,000 people died from the smog meanwhile as many as 12,000 people eventually died in the next few weeks due to complications caused by the catastrophic event eventually the UK decided that it needed to reduce air pollution and control the types of fuel used in factories to make sure that this avoidable event would never happen again prohibition poisoned alcohol right after the Great War the United States thought that it was best for them to ban the sale and drinking of alcohol believing that it was the devil's drink enter the prohibition era a period during the 1920s when people couldn't drink alcohol at all of course you can never prevent people from getting drunk because drinking booze has always been a part of human history so during prohibition people were Brewing drinks in their homes they said okay if you won't let us buy liquor we'll make our own basically people were buying industrial alcohol and using it for their bruise they thought that they had found a way around the prohibition system often drinking in secret at home while calling over a few friends to enjoy some booze but the government wasn't willing to let some Bootleggers Brewing home brewed drinks outsmart them so they decided to add toxic chemicals like methanol into industrial alcohol in an attempt to prevent people from making their own alcoholic drinks however some people didn't know that methanol was toxic but still used it for their homebrews others were just so desperate to get drunk that they didn't care whether or not methanol was deadly people started going blind or were suffering from illnesses those were the lucky ones because thousands of people died from methanol poisoning the government's plan backfired and caused a massive Health crisis instead of preventing people from drinking the government basically placed them in hospitals and spent millions of dollars on treatments this was one reason why prohibition never worked it ended in 1933 allowing people to enjoy their drink drink again but the damage had already been done Italy dioxin poisoning you're chilling in your small Italian town ceso in 1976 believing that life was good and nothing could go wrong suddenly a nearby chemical Factory exploded but because you far from the explosion you still go on with your Carefree life eventually you got sick that's because the explosion released a toxic gas called dioxin which is an incredibly dangerous chemical it's a highly toxic substance that can cause cancer and a lot of different health problems if people are exposed to it a cloud of dioxin settled over ceso covering entire streets and houses while exposing every living being to its poisonous wrath the Italian government declared a state of emergency leading to a massive evacuation effort unfortunately it was a bit too late a lot of people had been exposed to dioxin they suffered serious health problems including breathing issues and skin lesions around 20,000 people died meanwhile animals that were exposed to the gas either died or were euthanized due to their injures this led to the deaths of over 70,000 animals the events forced the European Community to pass a law that imposed stricter standards on factories and plants ceso has been turned into a park but is still considered unsafe for developm
