The collapse of a cathedral and the resulting calamities of dead and wounded people may be shocking to some. People are seen bloody.
Some will be shocked by the sight of a large plane losing control and crashing into an office building.
Some of the pre-disaster scenes as reflected in the eyes of the main character may be shocking to some. His look affects people and seems to cause death.
