Top Ten Worst Things That Have Happened in 2025

As of this writing this is the biggest current (not recurring) event in 2025 so far. But man, all those brushfires, with annoying wind and dry air, and it resulted in lots of places around southern California burning down. The government is being heavily criticized, how its fire department had fired competent workers and their replacements aren't doing good, and worse yet, there's no water in the fire hydrants to fight the fires. The fires have spread throughout a lot of Los Angeles as of now. Some deaths have been reported, I counted 5 last time, but there's likely more. UPDATE: The death toll has risen to 11. Another thing making this worse is the fact that there are LOOTERS plaguing areas affected by wildfires.

A small location in Tibet close to the Nepal border had a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, leaving lots of people trapped and at least 126 dead.

Another item on the previous list and it should be quite obvious how dire it is. Russia is a big nuclear power that wants to take Ukraine, there's evil everywhere going on. Russia is bad enough, but let's not also forget that a whole lot of money is being given to Ukraine, and it gets to a point where we don't really know if or how the money will help the Ukrainians here. It's a totally uphill battle, and I feel like western nations may blunder into this war and get themselves under the missiles of Russia.

A terror attack to start 2025's midnight hour off in New Orleans. Shamsud-Din Jabbar drives through Bourbon street into a crowd, and even engages with police by shooting them. He had an Islamic State flag in his truck too and even pledged his allegiance to IS in a video prior to the attack. 15 dead, and the Sugar Bowl postponed.

Let's start with an item that was already on the previous list, as well as one before it. Israel is still in the war against Hamas, and the sad part is a whole lot of other nations in the Middle East have been dragged into the conflict like Syria and Iran. I do believe Israel is biting off way more than they can chew, and I see them as more of an aggressor now. Yeah, they are retaliating a lot, but things can only go too far in this whole conflict. Countless casualties across the Middle East.

Israel just broke the ceasefire. They're now continuing their war crimes in Gaza and killing more countless civilians. Not only that, they've also been making advances on the West Bank and have been trying to annex part of Syria. Further proof of how evil Israel truly is. Yet people on here will try and continue to insist the Israeli government aren't a bunch of genocidal maniacs and excuse these actions.

Aco Martinovic apparently got into a bar fight, left, got his gun, went back to the bar, and shot people. Then he went to another location to do the same thing, then two more other locations. 13 died before the shooter offed himself. This was definitely a mass shooting, and the fact it happened as a result of a bar fight proves how psychotic those can make people. Cetinje had a mass shooting 3 years before this too.

This seems like a holdover from the previous list but I actually don't remember if I added it or if it was ever there. However, the migrant crisis in European nations can be just as bad as the ones in the US. Germany, France, Spain, and the UK are the main hotbeds of migrants coming over, namely Muslim, and it resulted in a ton of politics, protests, and pushback from normal citizens over there over many different things. The worst has to be in the UK, where the newly-elected prime minister Keir Starmer seems to be making a huge name for himself. Is he compromised that much to not have law enforcement go after migrants that commit crimes in the UK but would rather have regular British citizens arrested over mere social media posts online? And to have Parliament say no to an investigation on possible grooming gangs? If there are people on social media around the world comparing the UK to North Korea and they have evidence like this they may be on to something. European nations should find something that will work for their citizens before any bloody revolution were to occur.

Its that time of the year again, Australia has been already hit by a Cyclone already in North Queensland and has already caused one death (Correct me if I'm wrong) and now another one it heading towards Western Australia already. Although it is nice to have a bit of rain once in a while in this intense summer but this is a bit too much.

This week had so many plane crashes for america it was so bad. 2025 has been the worst year for America in the decade not only but then ronald macdonald trumpet became president of the us. What the hell is happening to america?

Another holdover from the previous list, honestly there is zero reason to let this go due to many different and actually preventable incidents that involve deaths or rape from illegals crossing the United States border and how many illegal border crossings happened. As a reminder this Top 3 consisted of previously listed items that have been ongoing crises and wars and have resulted in a lot of bad.

This was one very weird event that happened at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. A parked cybertruck explodes at the hotel, with the driver inside dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound prior to the explosion? This lends a ton of questions as to what Matthew Livelsberger was doing and why.

Somehow this didn't kill the economy yet. We'll see how bad this really gets.

Absolutely pathetic.

This is an American president and vice president who sided against freedom and the entire democratic world, like it's reality television and prizing loyalty. Appalling behavior from Trump and Vance, and there's zero doubt that America sides with a madman based on their UN vote in the small minority with 18 votes against Ukraine's peace resolution. It's about plutocracy and kakistocracy. Putin is about imperialism, along with Trump. No surprise that Putin and Trump love authoritarianism and illiberalism.

Pope Francis was a charitable and influential man of the Catholic Church who will be dearly missed, having died at age 88. May God bless his soul.

We have a new Pope named Leo XIV, and he is from Chicago, Illinois.

Recently Trump has threatened Australia with 25% Tariffs on Aluminium and Steel despite saying that Australia will be exempted from the Tariffs. I don't know why America is putting tariffs on their biggest traders, Its pretty much making more countries less interested in trading with America.

While cancer is truly bad and nobody should wish this on anyone, I still am left wondering how they have not been doing routine checks on Biden's health while he was president, or if they were hiding a diagnosis. The big issue here is as president, Biden's health is of top priority as leader of the U.S., so the doctors the president has have to be most accurate in any diagnosis.

I am far from his biggest supporter on TheTopTens, but it is really, truly a disheartening revelation to find out that he is severely ill.

Arson is a crime and is bad, and no matter how you accuse the other side of being a Nazi, dictator, authoritarian, etc., doing this will end up with you in serious trouble cause it's a crime and everyone knows it. There are better ways to protest against Elon, Trump, Republicans, etc. and this is not it.

Neither is doxxing or swatting, which seem to be happening at the same time, and there are some people who think that doing this is worthwhile, when it is universally seen as criminal to do these things. Considering that almost every person here seems to be targetting conservatives with criminal acts, this is not a good look for the Democrat party.
