Destruction has always been a prevalent part of life. Whether it is the natural process of decay and erosion, or man-made accidents and catastrophes, destruction is an integral part of life. From the moment we are born, we begin to experience destruction. Our innate curiosity and desire to explore leads to the natural process of decay and erosion, which destroys physical objects.

Some of these events are very minor, while others can be catastrophic.
