From world-ending weapons to environmental catastrophes, humanity has repeatedly flirted with self-destruction through its own inventions. Join us as we examine the technological nightmares that nearly wiped us out! Our countdown includes nuclear close calls, laboratory horrors, and chemical disasters that brought us to the brink. Which technological near-miss keeps you up at night? Our list features everything from the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Stanislav Petrov’s split-second decision that prevented nuclear war, from Agent Orange’s devastating legacy to scientists recreating deadly viruses in labs. We’ll also explore how even seemingly beneficial technologies like CFCs and satellites created unforeseen existential threats to humanity.
