Here is some lovely concept art by Giacomo Costa of grey goo overrunning a city, along with a nice little blurb from io9 explaining the possible situation that could have caused it.
In case you're not familiar, "grey goo" is the common name for a scenario where self-replicating nanotech (which looks like a pool of grey goo) runs amok and turns everything on earth into more grey goo. Grey goo isn't a good PA scenario since it tends to end with everything, and I mean everything, dead. Even so, a more selective nanomachine - maybe one that eats plastics or metal - might make for a more interesting scenario. More on that some other time...
