	KYsheeplover06  +  117728 Tue, 12 Jul 05 07:27 PM In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a disaster is defined as "a sudden and calamitous event bring great damage, loss, and destruction." So, in my opinion, the tsunami is the greatest disaster, while poverty in Africa is the larger problem.   Best Wishes, Sarah KYsheeplover06 Joined on Mon, Jun 27 2005 Full Member 251 "It's easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred." - Bob Dylan

So, for me, the tsunami is the greatest disater, because it has killed the most of people than any known disaster. BoudBoulMan

	Mike in Japan  +  118185 Thu, 14 Jul 05 05:41 AM Yes, let's think outside the 'square' and consider other disasters  - not only the three options given. I think the burning of the library at Alexandria was a big disaster. Oh, and in living memory, the holocaust was a huge disaster. My attempt at making a christmas cake last year was also a fairly big disaster, luckily only for those who had to eat it.
