  The Bhola Cyclone Kills at Least 300,000 in the Ganges Delta

  Bhola Island, Ganges Delta, Bangladesh

  

  Empieza el 12/11/1970CONFIRMADO90% DE CONFIANZAhace 55,9 añosThe source^[1] dates the strike in its opening line — it "struck East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh) and India's West Bengal on 12 November 1970" — though its own track narrative says the cyclone peaked on 10 November and made landfall "on the following afternoon". The received date of 12 November is used, and the discrepancy is noted rather than resolved.

  Del 15/04/2010 al 20/04/2010CONFIRMADO88% DE CONFIANZAhace 16,4 añosThe closure is dated as a span: the second phase from 14 April "created an ash cloud that led to the closure of most of the European IFR airspace from 15 until 20 April 2010".

  Empieza el 11/03/2011CONFIRMADO75% DE CONFIANZAhace 15,5 añosThe seawall program has no single completion date and remains partly unfinished as of 2026, so this pin is dated to the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku tsunami — the confirmed, exact date of the disaster that led Japan to commit to building it (construction of the network itself began in 2012, per contemporary sources).^[1]

  Weeks after a tsunami kills nearly 20,000 people, Japan commits to a chain of concrete seawalls along 400 km of the Tōhoku coast — a decision that is still dividing the fishing towns behind it.
