| abstract | - A Perfect Disaster is a highly unlikely confluence of events that creates a disaster that can be said to be perfect, both in its intense visually impressive destruction as in its ability to isolate small groups of people strewn together from different walks of life and develop their characters in a meaningful and entertaining way. A perfect disaster will almost certainly pressure all lingering unresolved romantic tension into a conclusion to coincide with the end of the disaster itself. The only confirmed perfect disaster in recent history occurred in October 1991, when several reasonably unlikely events of moderate destruction and dramatic potential coincided into a highly unlikely, yet strangely believable event with massive awe-inspiring destruction, a large not-too-gruesome death-toll and intense dramatic development in several small groups of good-looking survivors. The event was adapted into a movie, The Perfect Disaster, in 2000 by Roland Emmerich.
