उत्तर
This kind of disaster occurs in the event of a terror strike, either through the use of explosives, guns, or chemical and biological weapons. Most of these disasters are brought about by misdirected elements who think that social, political, or religious goals can be achieved by killing people. Terrorists also hijack planes and destroy public infrastructure, such as railway tracks and bridges, to cause massive devastation. The attack on the World Trade Center in the US on 11 September 2001, when terrorists hijacked planes to spread terror, resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths. The most destructive terror attacks in India include the attack on Parliament on 13 December 2001, and the Mumbai attacks on 26 November 2008.
