[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3512196, member: 4937"] A building is on fire. Forest fires threaten to enter the city. Nearby forest fires send heavy smoke into part of the city, forcing it to be evacuated. A balcony of a building collapses due to a crowd. A gasoline tanker crashes and catches fire. A semi damages a bridge supports, causes a roadway to collapse. A barge damages a bridge supports, causing a roadway to collapse. A fire gets loose in an underground rail system, causing roadways/buildings to collapse. A train derails. Two subway trains coalide. A subway trains breaks fail, causing it to crash into a platform at the end of the line. A tunnel collapses. Structural peices of a tunnel fall into the roadway. A tanker carrying toxins crashes and causes a chemical leak. A train carrying toxins derails and causes a chemical leak. A flash flood washes a person into a storm sewer. A flash flood washes a car into a river. Exotic animals are released in the city, or are discovered in an abandoned building (snakes? killer bees? aligators in the sewers?) A levy breaks causing widespread flooding. A dam breaks due to heavy rains causing sudden flash flooding. A car crash knocks over a telephone pole sending live electrical wires ontop of nearby cars. A storage tank ruptures causes a local flood of some dangerous substand - say hot mollases. A cache of dynamite used in local construction explodes, damaging nearby structures. A demolition of a building goes badly wrong, endangering the demolition workers. A chemical plant, or somewhere that stores chemicals, has an accident. A shipload of fertilizer or some other explosive goes off in the harbor. An airplane crashes into one or more buildings. An epidemic breaks out. An asteroid impacts the city. The city experiences a large magnitude earthquake. A tsunami strikes the city. The city is hit by a hurricane. Terrorists/sabateurs/nutcases cause any of the above. A suicide bomber blows up in a parking garage. Terrorists set off a dirty bomb. Terrorists release biological agents. Terrorists release chemical agents. Terrorists set off a nuclear bomb. Actually, the big problem with this thread is my realism is getting in the way. I can't think of any thing that realistically could happen, that would happen slowly enough that it would make sense for superheroes to be able to intervene. [/QUOTE]
