Disaster moment

**Disaster moments** are catastrophic pileups in the BeamNG Drive Movie series, with at least one occurring in each episode. Each disaster moment is preceded by a subtitle on screen that reads "10 Seconds To Disaster" before the following event. Often, these result in a dramatic escalation of the episode, followed by many casualties from civilians and even main characters.

## Disasters

**S1E01** - After a successful bank robbery, the Hellgang escape to the Matrix Freeway. Hellhound, in Alpha's Dodge Charger, fails to yield to Cameron who was about to switch lanes and cuts him off. Cameron swerves to avoid contact and slides into a van stopped on the shoulder. Cameron bounces off and rolls into the path of the truck that he was passing. The truck strikes his car and veers into the middle of the road. Johnny, in the Audi RS4, swerves to avoid impact with the truck and is sent into the air by a road divider, smashing headfirst into an oncoming bus and dying instantly.

**S1E03** - After discovering Andy's betrayal, Hellhound and Sweeper capture him in Altitude. Sweeper drops Andy's car down the mountain, and it rolls into a busy road. Andy is seemingly killed as several civilians pile into him. It is later revealed that he survived the pile-up, but he was eventually killed in S1E08 when a tram crashed into him.

**Derailed** - Sweeper drives a truck with a magnet to steal exotic cars from a moving train. To distract police while they escape, Sweeper attaches the magnet to the locomotive as they approached a turn, causing it to derail. The locomotive slides across the street of Los Injurus, sweeping up countless pedestrians in its way and killing twenty-four. Savage, distraught by the disaster and the others' lack of remorse, leaves the Hellgang.

## Variations

**10 Seconds To Impact** - A subversion of a disaster moment. In Epic Freeway Chase, a police convoy containing a vault of money was involved in a minor fender bender. No injuries were inflicted. In Deep Impact, as Hellhound, Black Widow and Inertia are about to be executed, Sweeper and Nate arrives in time using the magnet truck, this saving them and disabled the Gavril D15 rocketeer.

**10 Seconds To Mayhem** - In Epic Freeway Chase, Falcon's newest gang member, Howitzer, is deployed in a ramp car, flipping police and Hellgang members alike to defend their safe. As a result, Rebel was nearly killed in assault, and Hellhound's Dodge Viper ACR was totaled.

**10 Seconds Till Car Guys Cry** - In The Italian Job, Howitzer destroys multiple exotic cars at Morello's castle, as payback for betraying Alpha. No injuries were inflicted, except for the broken hearts of the fans for these cars.

**10 Seconds Till Busted** - In Epic Chase Leads to Freeway Disaster, Hellhound and Sweeper steal the truck containing the SRT Tomahawk that Falcon's gang seized from Morello. After the truck gets a flat tire and pulls over, the trailer door opens unprompted, revealing the Tomahawk, and Sweeper is unable to close it. With Falcon and his gang approaching the truck, Hellhound takes control of the Tomahawk to escape confrontation. As Simna passes the truck, she sees the Tomahawk in her rear view mirror, resulting in a chase across Utah. During the chase, Hunter was killed by HellCop, Detective Ivanore was killed by Nate, a plane crashes into the freeway, and Sithis and Sweeper plow through a line of cars stopped at a police blockade, resulting in fourteen deaths.

**10 Seconds Till Deforestation** - In Derailed, Sweeper runs over a tree while attempting to steal the McLaren from the train.
