Others showed a slow and vast disaster; magnetic screen after screen overloading and failing; sections of the Array losing buoyancy and descending toward the interior, toppling and disintegrating.

A huge section of stone had toppled and rubble had fallen in around it.

A section of the nails toppled with faint pings on the bare boards of the stand.

An entire section of the rocky wall had broken loose and toppled into the sea, leaving a gaping hole about halfway up the cliff.

Some sections of the stone walls of Elparta had toppled inward, and the dwellings and other structures within fifty cubits of the walls were largely rubble as well.

A huge section of sidewalk pushed up from the ground more than ten feet and toppled into the street.

Another section of the wall toppled outward to splash onto the slope.

Gouts of molten metal fell to kill men on deck instantly and then the whole section toppled, felled like the mighty tree it had once been in some distant forest.

Then a section some ten paces long slewed to one side, as the pilings we had chopped gave way under it, and broke loose with a groan and toppled with a mighty splash.

Then, very, very slowly, reluctantly, almost, the entire central section of the dam wall, at least eighty feet in width and right down to its base, toppled outwards into the gorge: the entire section seemed to be all still in one piece.
