* NightmareFuel: Allie trapping the terrorists in the refridgeration tower is scary enough, dooming them to die of hypothermia and/or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_death refrigerator death]], but then the terrorists start trying to shoot their way out out of desperation. The ''very flammable'' refridgerant ignites and blows up the tower while Allie and his family watch on in horror, and due to the same tower providing air conditioning to the nearby village huts via tubes, the tubes also ignite and absolutely ''scorch'' the village, only mitigated slightly by the fact that the village had been abandoned at that point. Allie remarks the day after that the refridgerant that leaked out ended up in the nearby river, rendering it uninhabitable to aquatic wildlife and unsafe for humans to swim in.
