Okay, so I think I've decided to destroy Rio de Janeiro.
Here is my base map.
Step 1: Remove the watermark
Step 2: Figure out what destroyed Rio (I'm not going to suggest it was a giant rampant alien thong bikini...)
Step 3: Figure out where everyone ends up after and what doesn't make it.

With all of that colossal rump-shakin during Carnivale I'm surprised that some buildings haven't been knocked down yet.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Starship Troopers?
Doesn't Heinlein's Starship Troopers begin when the bugs sent meteor/comet to strike the Earth at Sao Paulo, Brazil? Rio's not too far.

Yeah, I'm not sure quite what I want the disaster to be.
Some thoughts:
Plague
Nothing like a good plague to cause chaos to a population. Feels a little cliched after the awesome persistence of the Resident Evil series, it's like the thing is a zombie or a vampire or something undead...
Alien Invasion
Again, staple of so many action movies and nearly B-grade Sci Fi stories.
Humans are too smart for their own safety
Mad Scientist A creates a device that does [insert words with 9 syllables that mean footwear, colliding matter or a state of cheese] and accidentally screws the world into a [insert vaguely plausible scenario, add Jeff Goldblum and it's almost believable... like Santa]
This includes the "Post Nuclear Winter" Scenario, the Global Warming killed us all and Some Jerk Built A Roach Bomb That Created Sentient Rats.
Meteorite
"Mummy, I wanna launch Bruce Willis into a meteorite! Does Aerosmith play when every meteorite is about to blow up the world? Why are they trying to make babies when they won't be alive for her to get the baby?"
Again, staple concept. Leads to variations on the "Chernobyl Nuclear Winter".

I think I have it... *puts it under wraps*

I think it was Buenos Aires, at least in the movie.Originally Posted by Gamerprinter
