As technology advances, manmade accidents have become as destructive as some natural disasters; a look at recent catastrophes.

Tornadoes are violent, rotating columns of air that can level buildings, their unpredictability makes them even more destructive; a look at how tornadoes form and if they can be stopped.
Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates suddenly shift and shock waves shake the Earth's surface; they occur along fault lines -- the most active being the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas Fault on the American West Coast.
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all the same thing with different names, but what they also have in common is their destructive power.
Dams control water supply and generate power, but cities can be submerged in minutes if something goes wrong; bridges and tunnels make hard-to-reach places easily accessible, but when they unexpectedly fail, the results can be disastrous.
When water unleashes its rage upon the planet, it becomes the ultimate bringer of death; whether it's from rain washing over the ground, rivers bursting their banks, or failed efforts to stem the flow, flooding is as inevitable as it is unstoppable.
