Someone nicer than I am would go through here and add dates to each of these.

You can't park there mate!

“Sections of Highway 1 and the Coquihalla Highway near Hope were washed away, along with a parallel railroad. On the Coquihalla Highway, many bridges partly or completely collapsed. Near Hope, an entire section of the westbound side of the highway was washed out by the overflowing Coquihalla River. On November 18 [2021], the Government of British Columbia estimated that repairs for the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt would take months and that temporary Bailey bridges would be procured.” ( 2021 Pacific Northwest floods, Wikipedia)

A spritz of paint and a few decorative wall-hangings - good as new!

Serious case of heartburn.

It was arson and the suspect was apprehended.

Looks like they need more training!

No bueno

Chernobyl...

Of course they wouldn't let their employees shelter during a tornado warning.

There's a video for this one too if you use the Reddit link.

That is a mess!

If I recall correctly this was in Scandinavia somewhere

I wonder if it was Luigi inspired.

Metal fires are the worst!

Save the flamingo floaty!

“Typhoon Hagibis struck with winds of 225km/h (140mph) on the weekend of 12-13 October, k*****g about 90 people and displacing thousands with flooding. It was the country's worst storm in decades. The images of the parked trains with floodwater lapping at them became symbolic of the extent of the damage.” ( Japan typhoon Hagibis: Ten flooded bullet trains scrapped, BBC )

Earthquakes and sinkholes are scary. If they are prone to happen in an area, it'd be like living on or near time bombs that you don't know when or if they'll go off.

🤷🏻‍♀️ What in chocolate making blows up?

Anybody remember the old movie Towering Inferno?

“At around 9 am on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, the Carus Chemical plant in La Salle, Illinois, was involved in a major fire”. “… they had determined it was caused by friction between a forklift and spilled potassium permanganate”. “ They determined chemicals had spilled from a supersac [jumbo bag] while being transported to a truck and ignited when a forklift moved pallets around it”. “During the fire, over one million pounds of chemicals were burned. Following the fire, it was determined that the Carus warehouse needed to be torn down.” ( 2023 LaSalle chemical plant fire, Wikipedia )

Nope!

How... Um. That's astonishing.

Cruise ships are vulgar. Hurt the environment and pollution destroying small islands

That pesky Megatron at it again...

Crazy. In the video that fish pointed out, it shows the bridge dropping out from underneath the motorcycle. It didn't look like it turned out well for the cyclist.

Made in China. A byword for durability...

Let me guess, they forgot to put functional drainage pipes behind the retaining wall?

Plane view of explosion in plain view.

The derailment occurred on October 27, 2021. Ethanol is the alcohol we can drink. I wonder if anyone started to feel its effects.

To heck with the interview. Time to go!

Is it wrong that I wonder what that scene smelled like? lol

"To become a destroyer you must first understand what it means to be destroyed" Ancient Korean proverb...

This is why we test.

“Tomorrowland is a large-scale annual electronic dance music festival held in Boom, Antwerp, Belgium”. “On 16 July 2025, two days prior to the opening day of the first weekend of that year's festival, the main stage was completely destroyed by a fire.” ( Tomorrowland (festival), Wikipedia )

“On November 4, 2025, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 operating the flight suffered a separation of its left engine during its takeoff roll and crashed into an industrial area seconds after liftoff from the runway”. “The crash k****d all three crew members on board the aircraft, and an additional twelve people on the ground” ( UPS Airlines Flight 2976, Wikipedia ) This is an amazing series of photos. You can see the engine separating from the plane.

Oh dear what a shame...

what crane?

You mean track h*e?

“An orange cloud of toxic chemicals billowed over the FrieslandCampina factory site in Borculo, the Netherlands, late Friday night [July 11, 2025] after two hazardous substances reacted inside a truck”. The incident began when nitric acid and hydrochloric acid – corrosive chemicals used to clean equipment – came into contact”. “No one suffered an injury in the incident, but it did force officials to evacuate the plant and closed roads as a precaution.” (Explosion Leads to Toxic Gas Cloud, ISS Source) Microsoft Copilot stated: “When these two strong acids mix, they generate nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) and chlorine gas (Cl₂), both of which are toxic. The orange coloration comes primarily from nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) — a byproduct formed when nitric oxide (NO) oxidizes in air.”
