The Truth About The Deadliest Day In Human History

When we're lucky, an earthquake strikes and no one gets hurt. When we're not, a single one can cause more deaths than the entire American Civil War.

On one day in 16th-century Central China, a single earthquake caused a devastating amount of damage, causing so much destruction that it's difficult to fathom. It's estimated that 830,000 people died as a result of the quake, with some cities collapsing entirely. Mudslides swept away homes, and famine as a result of the quake caused an untold amount of human suffering.

If you think earthquakes are scary, you ain't seen nothing yet. This is the truth about the deadliest day in human history.
