1986Chernobyl disaster: The City of Chernobyl is evacuated six days after the disaster.


2014Two mudslides in Badakhshan, Afghanistan, leave up to 2,500 people missing.

Strange on them missing. Were they found and if so, dead or alive?

The death toll is uncertain, the number of deaths varying from 350 to 2,700.[5]  Around 300 houses were buried and over 14,000 were affected. Rescuers responding to the initial mudslide were struck by a second mudslide, which hampered rescue efforts.

2011Osama bin Laden, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and the FBI's most wanted man, is killed by the United States special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

If he had been captured instead of killed, there would have been so many abductions of hostages with demands for exchange with him.
