#JusticeForLove: End of the World
Approximately 30 minutes after Clara's impact in central France, it has triggered a global firestorm that slowly engulfs the Earth. New York City is destroyed within seconds as the global firestorm travels at supersonic speeds, vaporizing its famous landmarks in an instant, including the MetLife Building, Chrysler Building, Times Square, and Empire State Building. Central Park and the rest of Manhattan is slowly erased while the Hudson River evaporates due to increased temperature.

Trivia
