Yellowstone Caldera Eruption[]

During midday, the Yellowstone Caldera erupted, destroying the park and caused an ash cloud to spread around the United States.

In Las Vegas, a massive earthquake struck the city, destroying several buildings and creating numerous canyons. When the earthquake subsided, the city was left in ruins.

The Engulfment[]

When the Curtis family and Gordon Silberman arrived at the airport in the hopes of finding a bigger plane to get to the Arks in China. Meanwhile, Yuri Karpov, his twin sons, Tamara, Sasha, watch as their plane is being towed out of a crack, but are forcefully escorted into a terminal to shelter from the ash cloud.

As everyone gathered inside the terminal, President Thomas Wilson's final address starts broadcasting until the signal cuts off. Tamara spots Gordon and greets him.

Lilly Curtis volunteers Gordon to be the co-pilot, and they head for the plane.
