First, I was relating to you my personal experience, as a professional, of the environmental practice in post Soviet space. Factual. Take it or leave it.

Second, this is not a bidding war re environmental disasters. One can easily pick up the list from wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_environmental_disasters

Pick and choose as you wish. I've seen a few with my own eyes, mainly in Africa and ME, but haven't the time to relate.

Something that jumped out for me .. nuke subs .. we had an conversation here on this forum with a Royal Navy engineer, forget his name now .. submarine nuke reactors are regularly scuttled in the Atlantic fwiw.

I still maintain that predatory neoliberal capitalism will be the death of us, driven by 0.001%. If you haven't noticed that, so be it.
