For the worst environmental disaster check out Times Beach, Missouri. As far as response goes, I dont really have one that I can think of as the worst. The best responses are the ones you never hear about and they happen all the time :).

Oh yeah that was the guy who mixed agent orange with old motor oils and sprayed it on all the dirt roads in the town to keep the dust down. Just one bubba and a lot of passing the buck killed a whole town, there was a 60 minutes on this a few years ago
