Although it happened a couple years before I was born I would suggest the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. Fortunately the A-bomb was developed and used ending the war before possibly millions more were killed in battle.
Kennedy’s assassination is another big one.
St Helena’s erupting, the Alaskan earthquake and AIDS come to mind as well.

Interesting article I read mentioned that the bombs did not end the war, that Russia’s attack on Japan did...Japan used the bombs as a way to save face...
