2/8 Incident

The 2/8 Incident, (referred to as the Brooklyn Supernova or just 2/8), is a catastrophe that took place on February 8th, 2024 and killed 200,000 people in South Brooklyn, New York. It is the result of vigilante The Flame blowing up and causing a supernova. It is known as the greatest American catastrophe.
== Event ==
Around 7:30 PM February 8th, 2024, vigilante The Flame would be stabbed in the heart with a hero killer by Heyday, which begins to trigger his weaknesses and also his powers defense-mechanisms. Around 7:39 PM, The Flame would explode. The explosion would spread across South Brooklyn, killing around 200,000 people. The explosion would also have effects on other places in New York City, some buildings in Northern Brooklyn falling down. The explosion could be seen from Central New Jersey.
== Aftermath and Effects ==
=== The Brooklyn Accords ===
The response to this was a governmental one, VPOTUS Kamala Harris campaigning for an accords which would be finalised in May 2024 under the name Brooklyn Accords. Many countries and vigilantes have decided to sign the accords but many others don't agree with it. Vigilantes that don't sign immediately become fugitives, or are forced to retire. This caused huge discord throughout vigilante teams.
=== Uprise in Crime ===
Given Heyday was one of the 200,000, crime would stagger. This is also because vigilantes were processing the explosion and theorizing what will happen. The streets became free of surveillance and turned into crime-infested wastes.
