Not that I agree with the premise behind the screen play... it's just good special effects!

Volcano (1997 - Tommy Lee Jones)

The Geologist says, "We are dealing with very determined stuff." Plan one, try to cool the lava and create a crust. It is a miracle. Hundreds of firefighter, water drops, and a concrete barrier manage to freeze the lava flow. They have accomplished the impossible.

New plan, knock a new 20 story building (accross from the Beverly center) down by precision explosion and create a rubble dam, in 20 minutes, and divert the lava to the ocean

Well, although all the above scenes of destruction are really good, for me the 2 best filmed scenes of destruction on film are the following. The reason being that these two scenes are something that can happen to any of us... they're not a world-wide blow-up kind of disaster that could only happen in the movies. This could be me or you, and it would be real scary!

1. Titanic - the iceberg hits:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ORvaK89Ivk

2. Final Destination 2 - "the accident"

EDIT* Make that ALL the 3 movies in this series:

Also, check out this great article on "The Irresistible Urge to Destroy New York on Screen" :
