Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/MacGyver'', "Kill Zone": A satellite containing a genetic experiment crashes back to Earth. Unfortunately, it has mutated, and rapidly ages and kills any animal organism it comes into contact with. By the near-end of the episode, the scientist who takes an interest in it foolishly has a dog with her in the laboratory. The dog knocks the canister containing the genetic material out of her hand, which then smashes open on the floor. To prevent the virulent material from spreading, the laboratory self-destruct countdown activates, with MacGyver and Pete needing to make a hasty exit. They encounter problems in trying to use the one elevator up to the surface, but Macgyver is able to jerry-rig a method of powering the elevator. They get out of the elevator shaft just as the self-destruct initiates, destroying and burying the laboratory.

* Franchise/MonsterVerse:
** ''[[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'': When King Ghidorah awakens, he causes the scientific outpost that was built around his tomb to collapse into the ground, the heroes barely making it to safety. [[spoiler:At the film's end, Boston is nuked and irradiated by Fire Godzilla while the Russell family and Monarch escape by tiltrotor]].
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': This occurs in the HollowEarth [[spoiler:when the temple built by Kong's ancestors is destroyed]]. As the cavern collapses, the three core members of Team Kong plus Kong himself ''just'' manage to escape being crushed by the collapse via a tunnel, but the area they left behind, and all the meaningful history [[spoiler:and long-passed ultraterrestrial culture]] it held, is gone; much to Kong's ire.
* ''Film/ASoundOfThunder'': After a wayward tourist, Eckels, steps on a butterfly while on a time-safari, our timeline and the events leading up to the modern day begin to shift in "time waves", with nature taking over the planet, and modern day animals mutating into crossbreeds. Eventually, Safari Team Leader Travis Ryer and technological developer Sonia Rand are forced to hightail it to an experimental version of the time tunnel that the Time Safari company uses, so Ryer can [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong go back to prevent the start of the catastrophe in the first place.]] Rand is able to activate the time tunnel just in the nick of time, as the final time wave passes through and completely changes Earth and ruins its technology.
