The whole show would be about EVIL WESTERN CAPITALIST IS LE BAD instead of the obvious local shortcomings
In all fairness India is basically just a giant landfill, so one of the worst industrial disasters in history is just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.
Shortcomings such as local unions and journalists highlighting safety concerns prior and saying its an accident waiting to happen

The St. Francis Dam disaster that killed 431 people. It was built over the protests of locals who were losing their land under eminnant domain laws that were paying them lousy prices for their land as well as locals living down stream who thought it was unsafe, which it clearly was. The project was pushed through because the business community in Los Angeles wanted a new water source. The event and subsequent cover up inspired the plot of the movie Chinatown.

MS Estonia. There was already a good documentary series about this made a few years back, but the whole disaster has a lot of going on
>proportional body count higher than Titanic, you had less of a chance surviving aboard Estonia than Titanic
>really fast sinking combined with stormy weather and frigid water made it unlikely to survive even if you managed to get out of the ship
>sank way faster than simulations, there likely are more holes in the hull than just the visor dropping
>government secrecy, they even tried to cover it in concrete at one point, I'm not kidding. Even now you can't go diving anywhere near the ship without the coast guard showing up
>ship was before, and possibly during, the sinking used to smuggle soviet military tech to the west
Wasn't there nuclear material from the Soviets on board? I imagine the secrecy is due to circumvention of non-proliferation agreements
You're in luck, friend. The Scandis are making a fictionized miniseres about it. I think it's in pre-production.
Also, if you have 30 minutes, listen to the radiologs. They're great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5tbah19qo8&t=1092s
My bet is the Russians blew it up
This is by far the best candidate, Estonia is pure untapped kino, pic very related
qrd on the pic?
The Swedish government doesn't want anyone too find the nuclear warheads they keep hidden on the Estonia. we promised everyone that we do not have nukes but do you really think a country would just stop it's nuclear program? no way Jose they absolutely kept going and have been smuggling Russian nukes into Sweden just in case.

All conspiracy theories aside it was a piece of shit ship, the previous technical inspection was bought off, car deck was overloaded, the sea was too stormy and the speed was too great.

Honestly I think this one would be too depressing because it’s so many kids. I worked in the area where that high school was and you couldn’t find a single student that didn’t have the yellow ribbon on their backpacks related to the disaster for it. An entire high schools worth of students dead due to sheer incompetence and the moronic Korean hierarchy of stupidity.
This, I can't believe the fricking level of corruption that asiatics displayed here.
MH370 could make a kino mini-series even with investigation still ongoing.
They just did a three-part miniseries for the anniversary, explored 3 theories for the disappearance but it was kinda stupid
Union Carbide's Bhopal Disaster.
Corona virus of course. Most traumatic event in decades.
There'd have to be like a million miniseries / movies about rona in pre-production already
Not sure people care enough about irradiated hues to watch a movie about it
Nobody wants to be reminded of covid anymore.

There has literally not been more than a month that someone in my family hasn’t had covid. Not my immediate family mind you, but someone has always fricking had it. I can’t get away from it

Fukushima could be interesting but maybe too on the nose after the Chernobyl show
In which case sticking with Japan, why not Minamata disease? Or the broader situation of the several environmental disasters of that time period in Japan of similar circumstances
>Fukushima could be interesting
It doesn't have the Soviet political shitshow that was threaded through Chernobyl, so it would be quite boring in my opinion. If it's Japan then the 2011 Touhoku earthquake and tsunami could be fun. Natural disasters usually aren't as interesting as manmade ones, usually where someone fricked up along the way (e.g. chernobyl, titanic)
Instead it has Jap bureaucracy and shame-averse culture shitshow threaded through it
There's natural disasters where people also frick up as well though. Hurricane Katrina for example, is natural disaster paired with manmade disaster, a real comedy of errors.
>on the nose
you dont know how to use this term properly
It's a phrase, not a term
Halifax Explosion. Largest man made explosion prior to the atom bomb. We still send a Christmas tree to Boston every year for sending up doctors, nurses, and supplies after it happened.
Came here to suggest Halifax. Here’s a QRD for those who don’t know.
>WWI supply ship
>stuffed to the brim with high explosives, ammonium nitrate, ammo, ect
>smoking banned on ship, capt goes so far as to confiscate everybody’s matches
>some sailors refuse to even board
>ship has to cross Atlantic, but first a pit stop in Canada
>steaming into port
>stupid frog ship is can’t sail, causes collision, starts a fire
>crew says frick that and abandons ship
>this thousands of tonnage bomb that is now lit drifts towards the docks.
>hundreds of townsfolk run down to the pier to watch the show, others stay in their homes and watch from windows
>local fire department shows up and brings its vehicle to the waters edge
>railroad worker who knows what’s up man’s the telegraph till the end, sending warnings and requesting aid
>fire still burning fiercely and then
>detonation
>largest non-nuclear man made explosion at the time
>completely destroys docks, kills the fire chief and other firefighters, destroys their truck
>many civilians who went to watch are killed
>many other who are watching from home get glass from the windows blown into their eyes
>most homes knocked over
>since it’s winter everyone had a wood or coal stove burning inside that all get tipped over
>fires ransack the remaining debris
>2 days later a giant blizzard hits further burying people who are now homeless and injured
That is what The Terror season 2 should have been based on. It’s like a Stephen King novel.
The Terror involves the supernatural however, what sort of supernatural thing would be involved here?
Filthy French Canadians. Supernaturally buttholes.
Seriously though, they’d just have to write it in somewhere like they did for the other events. Maybe the ship or town is cursed or some shit. Chernobyl was already spiritually a successor to The Terror, more so than even season 2 was, so they could skip the supernatural part and just call it “Halifax”
>halifax explosion from 1911 was 5 times as large as the 2020 beirut explosion
really puts it into perspective. Now the real question is, why didn't christopher nolan try to make this list for his oppenheimer film? what a puny embarrassing boom

Speaking of shipwrecks, I can't remember the name but it was like out by Alaska in the early 1900s or so, where a passenger ship got stranded on a rock and took like several days to sink, during which time many rescue attempts were made but the weather remained too fierce.
Could either show it straight, or delve into some horror kino like The Terror with whatever fictionally could transpire on board in that time stranded.
In that vein and certainly the style of the Chernobyl show the Costa Concordia would make a good plot
The princess sophia, sat on the rocks for 40 hours waiting for a good time to start the rescue. It never came.
Big Old Boats has a good video on it. It’s where I go for my shipkino.
They did try to rescue but the captain kept telling them to frick off. Somewhat logically because he didn't want other ships to wreck against the rocks as well, but stupidly in hindsight considering everyone died
Yes, that’s why I said they were waiting for a good time to rescue, the good time never came. Rescuers were circling them but the storm prevented anyone from getting close enough to help. The captain was also under the impression that the damage to the ship was minimal enough that they would float off the reef when the tide came back in.
Since the ship disappears and mystery sunk, obviously the damage was minimal but insignificant in the face of pagan sumerian demonic witches who attacked in the night and ritually killed and sacrificed all aboard before sinking the evidence
I was thinking sirens/mermaids for the supernatural element. It was Alaska though, so we could even keep it Inuit. Tuunbaq hanging at the waterline with a can opener just taking his time.
Maybe some other injit monster. What's the creepy one that is like a humanoid orca or something, and kidnaps children? But it also wears clothes too, spooky
I don’t know about the clothes wearing, but I think I know what you mean. The one that looks like a white wale but humanoid? The Ningen?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qallupilluit
It was this one, I was wrong about it being part orca, but it does wear clothes and snatch kids or people away near the waters. Like some inuit aquatic hag

Could be an episodic series. Plenty of disasters out there that would be perfect for a 1 hour episode but couldn’t fill up a 4-6 episode miniseries. Tenerife airport disaster for the pilot episode gets my vote
That would be Mayday/Air Disasters, seconds from disaster, plainly difficult, and probably a few more Im forgetting. Or did you mean it should be that kind of historical fiction instead of documentaries like what I listed?
>a big crash? Luckily Van Zanten is around here somewhere, he can help. Let’s put him in charge of the investigation!
>he’s already at the scene you say? I knew we could count on him!
>oh
>oh
>oh dear god no
Yeh the latter. Would be kino
I’d tune in. Or stream it. Whatever the kids say.
