Great Disasters - Set Eight

What is a disaster? Is being ill a disaster? Or 75 million people dying in the Black Death? That sounds like a disaster! Find out what kinds of things make disasters happen. Oh, and if disasters are bad, what about mega-disasters? They're a lot worse. Find out here. Then read the story The Eruption. Who can you trust when a volcano erupts near you?
