T-Rex attacking Land Cruiser during the Isla Nublar event
Also known as "The InGen Incident", The Isla Nublar incident was one of the biggest catastrophe's in the Jurassic Park series and takes place during the first film/novel.
Endorsement Team
In an effort to prove the Zoological park he is trying to create is perfectly safe, John Hammond creates an endorsement team to test out the island resort.
The endorsement team consisted of:
- Dr. Alan Grant - chief paleontological consultant
- Dr. Ellie Sattler - chief botanist consultant
- Dr. Ian Malcolm - chief mathematician
- Ed Regis - Public Relations Manager for InGen
- Donald Gennaro - InGen lawyer sent to inspect Jurassic Park
- Lex Murphy & Tim Murphy - Hammond's grand children invited to show Hammond's faith in the safety of the park
It is during the first tour of the park is happening that the catastrophic events of the park took place.
The Cause
Dennis Nedry stealing the Dinosaur embryos.
After Dennis Nedry shuts the park's security down in order to steal dinosaur embryos for a rival genetics company, the loss of power causes the dinosaurs to escape and wreck havoc in the park. John Hammond's dream park quickly transformed into a nightmare as the rest of the endorsement team struggle to battle the parks restless carnivores while the park's control staff vainly tries to restore the park to normal.
The Aftermath
Film
After the T-Rex damages the main hall and saves the rest of the survivors Hammond shows up in a jeep and takes to the helipad and are taking back to the mainland.
Novel
The park was dismantled and the dinosaurs were left to die due to lysine necessity because they required a dose of lysine every day. The Costa Rican Air Force moved in to destroy all the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. The island was suddenly and violently 'cleaned' through tactical bombing and other air-based methods.
The remaining survivors are told that Ian Malcolm has died as a result of his injuries (Tyrannosaur stepping on him) and died although he is shown to have survived in the sequel The Lost World. In the novel John Hammond fell breaking his ankle and later being eaten by Compys.
Survivors of the incident are indefinitely detained by the United States and Costa Rican governments. However, reports have surfaced from a Costa Rican doctor named Martin Guitierrez that an unknown pack of animals (presumably the Compys though it is unknown as Compys are mainly seen as carnivores) has been eating crops rich in lysine (the molecule the animals were designed to be deficient in) and killing livestock as they migrate deep into the Costa Rican jungle.
This was all followed by the events of The Lost World.
