The St. Peter's Basilica Collapse was an event that happened during the 2012 apocalypse. This huge church was hit by at least a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that made the building tip forward and collapse. This caused the death of thousands of people including the Pope and the Italian Prime Minister.
History:
Before the Collapse
In the late hours of the night, a large congregation gathered at the basilica and the Pope (assuming Benedict XVI as he was still Pope before his resignation in 2013) lead them in a mass prayer. As Cardinals pray in the Sistine Chapel, the ceiling starts cracking and eventually collapses, starting the event
The Earthquake
At 6:10 PM, violent shaking jolted through the area of Rome. The main lights of the dome flickered and shut off, and people started panicking, running away from the church. The Basilica started tipping forward and the stone facade of the church started to crumble, along with the stone obelisk in the center of the square. After several seconds, the dome of the building hit the ground, skidding for a brief second and then rolling over anyone that was unfortunate enough to not be able to escape the square.
