"Nonetheless, it still remains true that as a set of cognitive beliefs, religious doctrines constitute a speculative hypothesis of an extremely low order of probability." – Sidney Hook

High Impact, Low Probability Events

High impact, low probability events are events that have an extremely bad outcome or consequence but have a low probability of occurring.

Events include:

natural disasters

Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event

An asteroid or comet collided into the Earth resulting in the death of around three quarters of all life on Earth

2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami 

A large earthquake of magnitude 9.1 struck the east coast of Japan. This was one of the most costly earthquakes at 360 billion USD

major terrorist attacks

September 11 attacks

hijackers took control of 4 different planes with all of them directed at different targets, this lead to a total of 2996 deaths

large oil spills

deep water horizon

nuclear war

nuclear reactor meltdown

Chernobyl disaster

major pandemic

Spanish flu

an unusually deadly influenza virus which lead to 500 million people being infected, leading to 50 to 100 million deaths

These types of events are the hardest to make plans for yet events absolutely need to be planned for accordingly.

These types of risks show me that we must take into account everything no matter how unimportant it is. Having a plan is the very least one could do.

Mystery bones found on railroad tracks identified by @boneidentification as armadillo tail vertebrae! Thank you for the assist. Makes sense as I was wondering what the double spine arch was for.
