nothing comes close:
Following the attacks of Drusus I in 11–9 BCE, Varus' opponent, Arminius, along with his brother Flavus,[24][25] had been sent to Rome as tribute by their father, Segimerus the Conqueror,[26][27] chieftain of the noblest house in the tribe of the Cherusci. Arminius then spent his youth in Rome as a hostage, where he had received a military education, and even been given the rank of Equestrian. During Arminius' absence, Segimerus was declared a coward by the other Germanic chieftains, because he had submitted to Roman rule, a crime punishable by death under Germanic law. Between 11 BCE and 4 CE, the hostility and suspicion between the Germanic tribes deepened. Trade and political accords between the warlords deteriorated. Tacitus wrote that the Chatti were hostile, and subjugated the Cherusci, but were themselves "pacified" between 4 and 6 CE.[28] Velleius Paterculus also reports that in the years 1–4 CE, there was unrest in Germania.[29]
After his return from Rome, Arminius became a trusted advisor to Varus,[30] but in secret he forged an alliance of Germanic tribes that had traditionally been enemies. These included the Cherusci,[13] Marsi,[13] Chatti,[13] Bructeri,[13] Chauci, Sicambri, and remaining elements of the Suebi, who had been defeated by Caesar in the Battle of Vosges. These five were some of the fifty Germanic tribes at the time.[31] Using the collective outrage over Varus' tyrannous insolence and wanton cruelty to the conquered,[23] Arminius was able to unite the disorganized tribes who had submitted in sullen hatred to the Roman dominion, and maintain said alliance until the most opportune moment to strike.
Between 6 and 9 CE, the Romans were forced to move eight of eleven legions present in Germania east of the Rhine river to crush a rebellion in the Balkans, leaving Varus with only three legions to face the Germans.[21] This represented the perfect opportunity for Arminius to defeat Varus.[20]
While Varus was on his way from his summer camp west of the Weser river to winter headquarters near the Rhine, he heard reports of a local rebellion, reports which had been fabricated by Arminius.[14] Edward Shepherd Creasy writes that "This was represented to Varus as an occasion which required his prompt attendance at the spot; but he was kept in studied ignorance of its being part of a concerted national rising; and he still looked on Arminius as his submissive vassal ...".
Varus decided to quell this uprising immediately, expediting his response by taking a detour through territory that was unfamiliar to the Romans. Arminius, who accompanied him, directed him along a route that would facilitate an ambush.[14] Another Cheruscan nobleman, Segestes, brother of Segimerus and unwilling father-in-law to Arminius,[27][33] warned Varus the night before the Roman forces departed, allegedly suggesting that Varus should apprehend Arminius, along with other Germanic leaders whom he identified as participants in the planned uprising. His warning, however, was dismissed as stemming from the personal feud between Segestes and Arminius. Arminius then left under the pretext of drumming up Germanic forces to support the Roman campaign. Once free from prying eyes, he immediately led his troops in a series of attacks on the surrounding Roman garrisons.
The Romans made a desperate attempt to storm the wall, but failed, and the highest-ranking officer next to Varus, Legatus Numonius Vala, abandoned the troops by riding off with the cavalry. His retreat was in vain, however, as he was overtaken by the Germanic cavalry and killed shortly thereafter, according to Velleius Paterculus. The Germanic warriors then stormed the field and slaughtered the disintegrating Roman forces. Varus committed suicide,[30] and Velleius reports that one commander, Praefectus Ceionius, shamefully surrendered, then later took his own life,[35] while his colleague Praefectus Eggius heroically died leading his doomed troops.
Roman casualties have been estimated at 15,000–20,000 dead, and many of the officers were said to have taken their own lives by falling on their swords in the approved manner.[30] Tacitus wrote that many officers were sacrificed by the Germanic forces as part of their indigenous religious ceremonies, cooked in pots and their bones used for rituals.[36] Others were ransomed, and some common soldiers appear to have been enslaved.
Upon hearing of the defeat, the Emperor Augustus, according to the Roman historian Suetonius in De vita Caesarum ("The Lives of the Caesars"), was so shaken that he stood butting his head against the walls of his palace, repeatedly shouting:
"Quintili Vare, legiones redde!“ ('Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!')
The legion numbers XVII and XIX were not used again by the Romans (Legio XVIII was raised again under Nero, but finally disbanded under Vespasian). This was in contrast to other legions that were reestablished after suffering defeat. Another example of permanent disbandment was the XXII Deiotariana legion, which may have ceased to exist after incurring heavy losses when deployed against Jewish rebels during the Bar Kokba revolt (132–136 CE) in Judea.
The battle abruptly ended the period of triumphant Roman expansion that followed the end of the Civil Wars forty years earlier.
uuuuuuuunnnnnggggghhhhhh when arminus first laid his hands on the aquilae of the DECIMATED Roman legions.

People have seen pictures of the Trinity explosion (the world's first nuclear bomb explosion), not the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima.
cr is probably Christ's crucifixion, but the first moon landing is also a good answer

Some contenders:
- Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
- “Livingstone, I presume.”
- Napoleon returns from exile in 1815 and is confronted by the 5th Regiment of the Line near Laffrey on March 7, where he stood alone before aimed muskets and declared, "If there is any among you who would kill his Emperor, here I am". Instead of firing, the soldiers broke ranks, crying "Vive l'Empereur!"
- first of the two Twin Towers collapses
- Phoebe Cates topless scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
