The finale for Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 was a fiery one, jeopardizing the lives of a number of of our favourite Gray Sloan surgeons with what seems to be to be a really huge working room explosion. We’ll have to attend till Season 22 arrives this fall to search out out which, if any, of our heroes within the blast zone made it out unscathed, however we’re additionally excited about what else could be forward within the subsequent bow.

Gray’s fuel explosion was a shocker, nevertheless it was additionally fairly normal fare for the present, contemplating the whole lot the hospital and its workers have been by way of through the years. The truth is, the primary hospital explosion occurred all the best way again in Season 3 with the notorious bomb-in-a-body bonanza. Among the many litany of different disasters which have befallen the hospital or Seattle at giant within the present are a practice derailment, a number of mass shootings, a ferry boat crash, a flood, aircraft crashes, a sinkhole, a superstorm, a mudslide, an earthquake, a tunnel collapse, a curler coaster accident, a windstorm, a hospital hearth, wildfires, a bus crash, a number of ambulance wrecks, a hacker assault, a heatwave, and, in fact, a world pandemic.

At this level, you would possibly suppose there aren’t any extra new disasters that even might befall the group, however we’ve discovered a number of which may turn into fodder for the longest-running primetime medical drama to proceed its custom of bringing large occasions to the small display in Season 22.

Volcano Explosion

With a number of lively volcanos within the neighborhood of Seattle — together with the high-threat Mount St. Helens — it’s truthfully shocking the present hasn’t introduced a volcano eruption into the combination but. Even an ash spray might do some severe hurt to the area, giving the Gray Sloan gang loads of new surgical procedures — notably within the trauma unit.

EMP Assault

We’ve seen the hospital lose energy earlier than within the superstorm, however an EMP assault could be next-level. That may take out not simply the hospital’s foremost energy, but in addition all communications and backup energy. It might be a significant disaster, and the medical doctors must be mighty inventive in how they handled the inevitable fallout — assuming they wouldn’t turn into sufferers themselves.

Cruise Ship Sinking

The ferry boat crash left the vessel nonetheless afloat, however might you think about the carnage if a type of cruise boats taking individuals to see Alaska went asunder, and one in all our heroes needed to be taught to scuba dive to assist out the injured trapped inside a la The Poseidon Journey?

Glacier Crash

Talking of these cruises, one other potential seaside catastrophe might be a glacier crash that impales and crushes individuals within the freezing water. (Sure, we hear how morbid that is getting, however bear with.)

Shark Assault

Wildlife assaults have performed a significant position within the present — who can neglect when the trio of hikers walked away from a mad mama bear? Or when the “pet” lion received unfastened and mauled some individuals? Or when the boa constrictor determined to wrap itself round its adoring proprietor? Nonetheless, we haven’t seen a shark assault but, and since Gray’s takes place on the waterfront, it’s honest sport — even when it’s solely occurred twice in the complete state previously two centuries.

Tsunami

Okay, okay, so tsunamis don’t pose a lot of a menace to better Seattle, however that doesn’t imply the characters couldn’t be out someplace and get caught up in a single.

Nuclear Meltdown

Washington state has a nuclear energy plant in Richland, which is simply 200 miles from Seattle. An incident at that facility would virtually actually have an effect on Gray Sloan.

Terrorist Assault

Other than mass shooters and the hackers who took over the hospital, there hasn’t been a real terrorism assault introduced into the combination on Gray’s both. Actually, such a factor could be triggering for the medical doctors — notably those that served in uniform and have already got PTSD.

Alien Invasion

This would possibly sound foolish, however the place’s the road, actually? Who’s to say {that a} UFO incident of some type couldn’t additionally affect Gray Sloan — whether or not it was only a bunch of alien hunters getting themselves harm over a false sighting or a military of inexperienced males storming the hospital, that’d actually be a shock to audiences who’ve turn into inured to the disasters on the present.
