People were harmed. In terms of wasted dollars, it qualifies as a catastrophe
Did you read the article at all? No, it was an actual catastrophe. There was damage, years of disruption for the work going on down there, a close call for the people working down there, years of cleanup running half a billion dollars.
Yes, but "problem" doesn't have "cat" in it
