Off the top of my head, other rare events worth anticipating:

  • Assassination of a head of state and/or coup d'état

  • War between and/or within highly developed countries

  • A new pandemic

  • Unavoidable meteorite

  • Extraterrestrial invasion

Thanks! I added pandemics (though not in the depth I should have). I'll look at some of the others.
