*** This troper took it to mean that while Rimmer was tasked to fix the drive plate, he had absolutely no idea how to do it right, and was never properly trained. Rimmer thought that, because he's such an arrogant egotistical moron, that he should be able to do a good job regardless. In this instance, it would be Captain Hollister's fault for relying on an incompetent crewman to do work that could (and did) kill the entire crew. {{spoiler|Though him really being Denny the Doughnut-Boy may have something to do with it.}}

*** Hollister's own records stated that if a job was worth doing, it was worth doing well, and if it wasn't worth doing, give it to Rimmer. So clearly, it would be the fault of anyone moronic enough to have assigned a job with potentially lethal consequences, say, repairing a drive plate that could leak fatal doses of radiation, to Arnold Judas Rimmer in the first place.

** {{spoiler|Then the Doctor does it ''again'' in "The End Of Time" as we find out how the Time War really ended. The Doctor really did personally push the button that ended it and all involved, Time Lords, Daleks, and other horrors, and it was mainly to stop the ''Time Lords,'' not the Daleks, as they'd [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|jumped off the slippery slope]]. Now that they'd returned, the Doctor had to foil their attempted resurrection, dooming them and Gallifrey to death in the Time War. The alternative was the destruction of the entire universe by the Time Lords, who wanted to start over as [[Energy Beings]] and the universe's only life forms - the same [[Omnicidal Maniac|omnicidal]] plot (minus the [[Energy Being]] thing) the Daleks had tried in the previous season finale.}}

** He also destroyed Gallifrey in the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''The Ancestor Cell'', and, to be fair, it was for a good reason and they were being assholes anyway. He developed [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]] as a result. Then {{spoiler|it turned out that the amnesia was in part due to the fact Gallifrey had been kind of stored in his head. How's that for a "[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|brain the size of a planet]]"?}} You'd [[Sarcasm Mode|almost]] think he doesn't like Gallifrey or something, huh?

*** You can return to Mist in ''every single version'' of FFIV. Problem is, the only version that shows any damage to the town after the traumatic event is the DS version, where you can see the damage to some of the houses.

**** If you talk with the inhabitants there, they will reference the horrible disaster that killed all of the summoners. Maybe Mist had two significant populations: the world's only summoners, and the world's best carpenters.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' {{spoiler|Fang and Vanille}} do this to their hometown of {{spoiler|Oerba, when they turned into Ragnarok at the orders of the fal'Cie; and all the other Pulse societies went with it.}}

* Psycho Mantis from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' destroyed his home village during what can only be described as a psychic temper tantrum.
