  April 26, 1986, the world witnessed the costliest accident in history.
  The Chernobyl disaster has been called the biggest socio-economic  
catastrophe in peacetime history. 50% of the area of Ukraine is in some 
 way contaminated. Over 200,000 people had to be evacuated and resettled
  while 1.7 million people were directly affected by the disaster. The  
death toll attributed to Chernobyl, including people who died from  
cancer years later, is estimated at 125,000. The total costs including  
cleanup, resettlement, and compensation to victims has been estimated to
  be roughly $200 Billion. The cost of a new steel shelter for the  
Chernobyl nuclear plant will cost $2 billion alone. The accident was  
officially attributed to power plant operators who violated plant  
procedures and were ignorant of the safety requirements needed.</div>

  Space Shuttle Columbia was the first space worthy shuttle in NASA's  
orbital fleet. It was destroyed during re-entry over Texas on February  
1, 2003 after a hole was punctured in one of the wings during launch 16 
 days earlier. The original cost of the shuttle was $2 Billion in 1978. 
 That comes out to $6.3 Billion in today's dollars. $500 million was  
spent on the investigation, making it the costliest aircraft accident  
investigation in history. The search and recovery of debris cost $300  
million.</span><br />
<span class="fullpost"><br /></span>
<span class="fullpost">In the end, the total cost of the accident (not  
including replacement of the shuttle) came out to $13 Billion according 
 to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.</span></div>

  November 13, 2002, the Prestige oil tanker was carrying 77,000 tons of
  heavy fuel oil when one of its twelve tanks burst during a storm off  
Galicia, Spain. Fearing that the ship would sink, the captain called for
  help from Spanish rescue workers, expecting them to take the ship into
  harbour. However, pressure from local authorities forced the captain 
to  steer the ship away from the coast. The captain tried to get help 
from  the French and Portuguese authorities, but they too ordered the 
ship  away from their shores. The storm eventually took its toll on the 
ship  resulting in the tanker splitting in half and releasing 20 million
  gallons oil into the sea.<br />
<br />
According to a report by the Pontevedra Economist Board, the total cleanup cost $12 billion.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Challenger Explosion <span style="color: red;">$5.5 Billion</span></span></div>

  Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed 73 seconds after takeoff due on
  January 28, 1986 due to a faulty O-ring. It failed to seal one of the 
 joints, allowing pressurized gas to reach the outside. This in turn  
caused the external tank to dump its payload of liquid hydrogen causing a
  massive explosion. The cost of replacing the Space Shuttle was $2  
billion in 1986 ($4.5 billion in today's dollars). The cost of  
investigation, problem correction, and replacement of lost equipment  
cost $450 million from 1986-1987 ($1 Billion in today's dollars).</div>

  world's worst off-shore oil disaster. At one time, it was the world's 
 single largest oil producer, spewing out 317,000 barrels of oil per 
day.  On July 6, 1988, as part of routine maintenance, technicians 
removed  and checked safety valves which were essential in preventing 
dangerous  build-up of liquid gas. There were 100 identical safety 
valves which  were checked. Unfortunately, the technicians made a 
mistake and forgot  to replace one of them. At 10 PM that same night, a 
technician pressed a  start button for the liquid gas pumps and the 
world's most expensive  oil rig accident was set in motion.<br />
<br />
Within 2 hours, the 300 foot  platform was engulfed in flames. It 
eventually collapsed, killing 167  workers and resulting in $3.4 Billion
 in damages.</div>

  Exxon Valdez oil spill was not a large one in relation to the world's 
 biggest oil spills, but it was a costly one due to the remote location 
 of Prince William Sound (accessible only by helicopter and boat). On  
March 24, 1989, 10.8 million gallons of oil was spilled when the ship's 
 master, Joseph Hazelwood, left the controls and the ship crashed into a
  Reef. The cleanup cost Exxon $2.5 billion.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">7. B-2 Bomber Crash <span style="color: red;">$1.4 Billion</span></span></div>

  we have our first billion dollar accident (and we're only #7 on the  
list). This B-2 stealth bomber crashed shortly after taking off from an 
 air base in Guam on February 23, 2008. Investigators blamed distorted  
data in the flight control computers caused by moisture in the system.  
This resulted in the aircraft making a sudden nose-up move which made  
the B-2 stall and crash. This was 1 of only 21 ever built and was the  
most expensive aviation accident in history. Both pilots were able to  
eject to safety.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">8. MetroLink Crash <span style="color: red;">$500 Million</span></span></div>

  September 12, 2008, in what was one of the worst train crashes in  
California history, 25 people were killed when a Metrolink commuter  
train crashed head-on into a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles.
  It is thought that the Metrolink train may have run through a red  
signal while the conductor was busy text messaging. Wrongful death  
lawsuits are expected to cause $500 million in losses for Metrolink.</div>

  August 26, 2004, a car collided with a tanker truck containing 32,000 
 liters of fuel on the Wiehltal Bridge in Germany. The tanker crashed  
through the guardrail and fell 90 feet off the A4 Autobahn resulting in a
  huge explosion and fire which destroyed the load-bearing ability of 
the  bridge. Temporary repairs cost $40 million and the cost to replace 
the  bridge is estimated at $318 Million.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">10. Titanic <span style="color: red;">$150 Million</span></span></div>

  sinking of the Titanic is possibly the most famous accident in the  
world. But it barely makes our list of top 10 most expensive. On April  
15, 1912, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage and was considered to be
  the most luxurious ocean liner ever built. Over 1,500 people lost 
their  lives when the ship ran into an iceberg and sunk in frigid 
waters. The  ship cost $7 million to build ($150 million in today's 
dollars).</div>

Always first on my list is the Margarita. This drink says, “I’m 
whimsical, have a great sense of adventure, and don’t mind trying new 
things.” You can’t go wrong with it. Cool, refreshing, slushy-like, and 
it comes in a wide variety of flavors. Just thinking of this drink makes
 me want to kick off my shoes and dig my toes into the sand.</div>

What is a lazy day in the sun without a glass of Sangria. Best when 
sipped from a wine glass while protecting yourself from the sun via a 
large brimmed straw hat. It’s fizzy and fruity and pretty to look at 
with it burgundy coloring, typically created from red wine, fruit 
juices, soda water, fruit and sometimes brandy. Sangria's best served 
chilled, and goes well with just about anything!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another favorite of mine, as long as it’s not too mint-y. This is 
exactly why the most finicky cocktail enthusiasts reach for this drink. 
There are so many possible ways to mess it up that it makes it that much
 more of a treasure when it’s made just the way you like it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you like Piña Coladas…” then you’re by yourself on that one. While 
I’m not a fan of pineapple, coconut, or rum, if Jimmy Buffet thinks 
you’re cool enough to name a song after, then you deserve a spot on my 
list.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any drink with the word “tea” built into the name has to be considered a
 cocktail perfect for a warm day. Long Island Ice Tea is one of the most
 potent of drinks with it’s medley of spirits, including vodka, gin, 
rum, tequila, and triple sec. Make sure you have designated a driver 
before you start throwing these back.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of us who are veterans, G&T is another warm weather 
favorite. Its taste is cool and crisp, with just tonic water, gin, and a
 twist of lime. However, don't be fooled: easy it is not. Even when done
 right, it’s not an easy drink to love. Tonic’s slightly bitter taste is
 a turnoff to most sweet-drink lovers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As classic as the icon who takes his “shaken, not stirred.” Its origins 
have been claimed by post gold rush San Francisco, New York and 
Martinez, CA. Wherever the origin, Martinis are loved all over the

these areas were booming. Here are some photos of abandoned towns  in 
the United States. Now they are simply ghost towns.</div>
