* The opening pan shot in Boston with various people dropping dead out of nowhere due to pacemakers being affected by EMPs, some of whom were driving cars and crashing into various spots including a ''gas tanker'' turned on it's side and spilling all over the road.

* The lightning-storm that destroys Rome's monuments and even statically charges TVs and coffee machines enough to cause a shock just from touching them. Seeing such monuments like the Roman Colosseum ''explode'' without crumbling is very creepy.

* The whole concept of being trapped in a giant cigar tube not dozens, not hundreds, but ''thousands'' of miles underground, is nightmarish all by itself. Not helped by the fact that save for one improbable location, the entirety of the core appears to be utterly inimical to human life. Step outside Virgil for even a moment, lose one bulkhead or seal, and you'll be crushed, suffocated, or incinerated within seconds. And even if you could survive... you're still thousands of miles from the surface, without food or supplies, and no rescue team coming. [[SarcasmMode Lovely.]]

** What makes it even worse was that similar storms were about to spawn right over the city of ''Paris'' France just as the core was fixing itself. Heavily implying that had the heroes not fixed the core in time, Paris would have met the same fate as Rome, including a melted Eiffel Tower.

* Project DESTINI. The idea of someone weaponizing earthquakes is a mercifully unrealistic prospect. It is ultimately the interference of DESTINI that triggers the entire crisis.
