Interesting quiz, but you should use the third column to indicate the nature of the disaster (e.g., earthquake, tsunami, civil unrest, etc.).

Too subjective. Also Syria should probably make the list for political unrest also

Am I the only one who thought the Rebecca Black 'Friday' video would be included in a list of 2011 disasters?

Too subjective. Definitely missing Cote d'Ivoire which is on the brink of a civil war. Missing Sudan which has had violence after the South Sudan referendum of independence. Lots of other nations have bigger problems than this.

I think a more correct title would be: What countries have made the news in 2011 for the following issues?

It's much better now. :) Definitely makes sense now. Just one last thing-add Sudan and Cote d'Ivoire, they've both been major news spots. Sudan has had serious violence after the South voted to become independent, and Cote d'Ivoire has the exact same situation as Libya (making me wonder why there are no coalition forces going there).

@indianwolf1992: I suspect it's because the coalition doesn't value palm oil as much as crude oil… yet.
