** The Tenth Doctor time rammed an imitation of the TARDIS in the Time Vortex in an attempt to save Cindy Wu. (COMIC: Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth)

* The Daleks launched a temporal bomb in the origins of Gallifrey, which the Doctor assumes is revenge for his own attempt to wipe out the Daleks in their past. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks)
