A couple of crisises which Superheroes could tackle:
Brazilian oil rig stabilised. The Brazilian state oil company says engineers have stopped its damaged off-shore oil rig from sinking. [BBC News: world]
Oil rigs are fascinating – giant structures at sea, they would be an excellent setting for an action scene, especially a sinking oil rig…
Struggle to reach US crash victims. Rescuers struggle to help victims of a train crash in remote Iowa farmland, in which one person died and 90 were injured. [BBC News: world]
Notice that in both cases, rescue operations are hampered by (a) weather and (b) geographically remote location (remote? that train crashed in Iowa!)
I could use either of these in my superhero scenario, Nephilim.
