Rogue aliens launch a surprise attack on Earth, destroying cities, obliterating world governments and unleashing a deadly virus.

Alien Invasion

A scenario in which Earth is pulled out of its orbit, sending it on a collision course with the sun and triggering massive hurricanes, sandstorms and a deadly heat wave.

Earth Out of Orbit

After a volcanic hyper eruption blows through the surface of the Earth, molten rock slams into cities, shock waves bring down buildings, volcanic gas blocks out sunlight, food chains collapse, and a famine threatens the future of humankind.

Mega Eruption

A gamma ray burst from two colliding stars hits the atmosphere, wiping out half of the population on Earth, while the other half faces a slow death from ultraviolet radiation and starvation.

Gamma Ray Burst

During a nuclear war, hydrogen bombs destroy the world's greatest cities; a fallout of ash and debris creates a nuclear winter, plunging the planet into an ice age; crops fail and mass starvation drives humanity to the brink of extinction.
