As far as casualties or significance of event? The Challenger blow up was pretty significant--as was Columbia to a similar extent. Are you looking for man-made destruction or natural disasters? Sounds like more of the former. How about PanAm flight whatever it was over Lockerbee Scotland? The San Francisco earthquake in the that late 80's/early 90's? There are near limitless possibilities.

Oddly, it neither mentions the plague or Windows 95

Yeah, after posting I found that list. I was actually thinking about today what would make for a great big-budget disaster movie like Titanic.

Something like tjernobyl or 9/11 could probably be pretty cool

Isn't someone already doing something big budget RE: 9/11?
