    At the second spot is the East Pakistan (now called Bangladesh) Tornado of 1969. An estimated 660 people were killed and a total of 4,000 were injured on April 14, 1969 after a huge tornado struck Dhaka in East Pakistan where most people were living. That same day, another tornado hit Homna Upazila, also in Bangladesh where 223 people perished. That gives a total of 883 deaths, making it the second deadliest tornado to ever happen in history.
