Examples of catastrophes in a Sentence

  1. Anthony Summers:

    One of the things that was hidden was the secret that United States was breaking the Japanese diplomatic code and keeping that secret saved countless lives during the war... but after that, there is no worthy reason for continuing to vilify two honorable men and to allow them to shoulder the responsibility of the death of so many young men. It is an injustice that should be righted. the fact that there have only been two big catastrophes -- one was Pearl Harbor... and the other was 9/11. They are both the same kind of stature and horror in the American memory.

  2. Jeff Zients:

    Moving forward, we will focus on immediate and emerging domestic and global biological threats and play a critical role in stopping this pandemic and preventing future biological catastrophes.

  3. Pope Francis:

    The pace of consumption, waste and environmental change has so stretched the planet's capacity that our contemporary lifestyle, unsustainable as it is, can only precipitate catastrophes, such as those which even now periodically occur in different areas of the world ... we need to reflect on our accountability before those who will have to endure the dire consequences.

  4. Chokwe Antar Lumumba:

    This is something that has been occurring for years, but sometimes it takes these catastrophes to make sure that this disaster comes to light.

  5. Darren Campo:

    Large news organizations hold that editorial integrity and the public trust are key to maintaining their business over the long term, even if news organizations fail, we don’t know that circular reporting of fake news could incite, say, a nuclear war. Nuclear powers with state-controlled news such as China and North Korea have not initiated global catastrophes. This is evidence that it takes more than a news report to activate a nuclear deployment.
