Which is the really frustrating part here.

While I get what your saying, and the damage the Tsunami did is enormous from a monetary cost and a cost of lives and help.
I do not agree that Chernobyl was overblown as a disaster.
A 30 Sq KM radiated exclusion zone, up to an estimated 50,000 deaths among the rescue workers and others due to long effects (WHO).
Animals are being wiped out in the area and there are documented cases of severe health problems among those that were evacuated during the emergency.
Make no mistake, Chernobyl was the momma bear of technology accidents.
