SimCity can randomly bury your city in toxic waste

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Nothing teaches municipal planning better than spontaneous apocalyptic radiation. If you choose to power your booming metropolis with nuclear energy to save space and reduce pollution, the game engine runs a hidden background calculation. It randomly decides to melt down your reactor, permanently covering a massive chunk of your hard work in useless, unbuildable toxic waste just to remind you who is really in charge.
