Aberfan was 1960s.

Fukushima was 2000s

Flint was 2010s

It wasn't "ago", it is an ongoing battle. The greed and evil reappear whenever we get complacent.

As Faulkner famously put it: "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

The problem isn't individual greed that keeps reappearing, it's the collective and cultural greed that makes the individual greed short-term attractive.
