** After liberating sevearl other planets, the Directorate decide to engage in a FalseFlagOperation which ends up being called the Perdition Massacre. This brings in the relatively powerful Taurian Concordat into the mix... without realizing that Kamea and the player have recovered a valuable Star League cache first, decimating the Directorate with the firepower contained therein.

* ''Literature/TheLaundrySeries'': Discussed in ''The Fuller Memorandum'' after Bob accidentally kills a bystander while disenchanting a CursedItem. His staff manager Iris tells him that "Fatal accidents never have just a single cause, they happen at the end of a whole series of errors." In this case, Bob wasn't told beforehand precisely ''what'' the CursedItem had been doing to get that way, meaning he didn't know to take certain precautions, and then a civilian [[spoiler:who turned out to have been a Russian DeepCoverAgent]] opened the door to enter the hangar where he was working at exactly the wrong moment.

* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations 2'' reveals that the IS-7 Incident is one stretching ''[[Franchise/AceAttorney the entire series]]''. Someone cheats to win a contest, ultimately leading to a fatality. Then, as a result, [[spoiler:Gregory Edgeworth spoils Manfred von Karma's perfect record and is shot, leading his son Miles to become a prosecutor and eventually be framed by the vengeful other party. The same case caused Misty Fey to be disgraced and go into exile, leading her daughter Mia to become a defense attorney and get murdered, motivating her protege Phoenix, who has to eventually deal with the murder of Misty herself by her jealous sister and the ghost of a woman Mia put away for murder earlier, all in order to pin the blame on Phoenix's assistant Maya, Mia's little sister.]] And that's not even counting the many, many collateral deaths along the way...

* ''VideoGame/BattleTech2018'' has the campaign story, where the usurping Espinosa family and their Aurigan Directorate ultimately drop their CivilWar at the 10-yard line all because of a single mistake made three years earlier: attacking the player and Kamea on Kamea's coronation day and [[MakeSureHesDead failing to ensure they did the job properly]]. From this single error rises ''all'' of their subsequent problems:
** Kamea turns out to be alive and returns from exile, bringing the player with her, who is now a mercenary with [[ItsPersonal one of several grudges against the Directorate]]. With the help of the player, Kamea gets a foothold and wins local popular support by overthrowing and freeing political prisoners from a HellholePrison (though not without a painful personal cost and yet ''another'' grudge against the Directorate).
** After liberating sevearl other planets, the Directorate decide to engage in a FalseFlagOperation which ends up being called the Perdition Massacre. This brings in the relatively powerful Taurian Concordat into the mix... without realizing that Kamea and the player have recovered a valuable Star League cache first, decimating the Directorate with the firepower contained therein.
** The Taurians move to crush Kamea's army, only to run into a SuperweaponSurprise courtesy of the player: the Taurians are sabotaged by a Star League era AI virus--an electronic warfare weapon so advanced it is capable of ''crashing a DropShip'' from mere exposure. It demonstrates this handily, breaking the back of the Taurian assault.
** The crashed ship happens to contain proof that the Taurians were smuggling weapons into the Directorate, diminishing support for them among their remaining Aurigan supporters. The crash also happens to tip House Espinosa's hand in the Perdition Massacre against the Taurians, causing the enraged Concordat to pull out of the war.
** Stuck on the bones of their asses, Director Espinosa [[KnowWhenToFoldThem stands down and surrenders]], though not without cost to him as his daughter refuses to accept it was AllForNothing and tries to go out [[TakingYouWithMe in a blaze of glory against the player and her cousin Kamea]]. Eventually, the Directorate collapses, Kamea is restored to the throne, and Espinosa is handed over to the Taurians who execute him for his part in ordering the Perdition Massacre.

** The episode with the most notorious example of this is likely "[[Recap/HTFClassAct Class Act]]". Nutty, who is obsessed with candy and will eat anything remotely resembling it, bites a chunk out of Sniffles, who was dressed like a massive candy cane, runs off screaming and somehow manages to get Giggles' face sliced off. The sliced-off face flies off and hits The Mole, who's controlling the spotlight, which he fumbles and directs straight into Lifty and Shifty's eyes, who were holding Flaky upside down and who, blinded, drop her, which causes her to get skinned falling down a chimney, before getting deposited on the stage floor with her muscles exposed. All this finally triggers a panic, leading to Toothy dropping a candle and creating a fire while Cuddles blocks the escape route with his costume, leading to him being pushed out of it in a cylindrical shape. Most of the characters get out safely, but are all killed when the school explodes at the end.
