Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar Contest: This is a DISASTER!

So, unless you live in a cinematically-deprived country (such as, oh, say... Canada), this past weekend brought the release of Moonfall, a big, dumb-looking disaster movie in the vein of other big, dumb-looking disaster movies from days gone by. So to commemorate this release, let's turn this thread into a disaster area!

Your entries this week should feature some kind of disaster from SF&F movies, television shows, comics, or video games. It can be a world-ending disaster (such as say, the moon falling into Earth), or a small-scale disaster (like a spaceship hitting a... space iceberg or something) or anywhere in between. If you're worried that maybe the disaster movie you have in mind isn't SF&F... well, if the science behind it is totally unreal, then it must be science fictional, right? ;) And of course your avatar doesn't have to specifically be from a disaster movie, it can be just any disaster in a non-disaster movie or show, like my first entry below.

Entries should be no bigger than 200 x 200 pixels, and 1 MB. All entries must be SFW. Please identify where your entry is from, and what it is depicting. Each entrant may submit two avatars. The contest will be open for about a week, probably a little over, as I will probably post the poll on a weekend.

In honour of Moonfall, my first entry is:
this-is-a-disaster-av.gif

The breakup of the moon from The Time Machine remake.

And the best part is, if no one enters, then the thread title becomes meta commentary on the contest itself!

So have fun! :techman: And if anyone wants to complain that this contest isn't sufficiently Valentine's themed... well, you obviously haven't met my love life.

Entry ideas that I've seen no one post yet:

Nuclear attack dream from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".

Praxis exploding from "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".

The oceans being fucked with in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home".

Goliath striking K.I.T.T. down in the original "Knight Rider".

Voyager crashing into the ice planet from "Star Trek: Voyager".

The Death star exploding. I mean, it's a disaster for somebody!

The Enterprise D exploding from "Cause and Effect".

The Red Dwarf exploding after Rimmer sticks it to Death.

The Hellmouth caving in, from "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer".
 
I wonder how many different ways NYC has been destroyed over the last century?
