These disasters were the biggest events that shocked the entire world when they hit.
The Top Ten
1 Boxing Day Tsunami, 2004

This tsunami will be remembered as Mother Nature unleashed creating a massive tsunami that struck 15 countries killing at least 250,000 people and displaced 1.7 million locals.

2 9/11 Terror Attacks, 2001

How can they go and do this to us. I feel horrible for those people who fell like they could have done something to save that person they lost. They might fell like crap, but it isn't your fault. It was that Muslim leader who planned this in the late 1900's.

The hijacking of four planes being crashed into various locations across the US caused major panic and the loss of 2,999 innocent lives making it the worst terror attack in history

Move this to number one
