11th

 * Barry Allen attended a crime scene caused by Mark and Clyde Mardon, which led to Detectives West and Chyre finding a farmhouse owned by the brothers that night. Detective Chyre was killed and the brothers escaped but crashed down due to the shockwave of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
 * The S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator was switched on but malfunctioned. Ronnie Raymond attempted to fix it from the core chamber, but was unable to and instead directed the explosion upwards rather than outwards. The accelerator released dark matter and various types of previously theoretical particles. Many people exposed to the particles were given powers of some sort. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
 * Barry Allen and Iris West attended the switching on of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, but were interrupted when someone stole Iris' laptop. The man was stopped by Detective Eddie Thawne and they headed to the Central City Police Department. Barry headed up to his lab, where he watched the particle accelerator's explosion and shockwave. A bolt of lightning struck him, putting him in to a coma for the following 9 months. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
 * Danton Black, an employee of Stagg Industries who had been performing tests of cellular regeneration on himself, was exposed to some of the accelerator's particles and was given the power to duplicate himself. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
 * As Kyle Nimbus was being executed via the gas chamber, the particle accelerator exploded and fused Nimbus' molecular structure with the toxic gas, giving him the ability to transform in to gas for periods of time. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
 * After Tony Woodward was laid off from his job at an Iron Works facility in Keystone City, he got into an altercation with his boss. He was knocked over a railing in to a vat of molten steel, coincidentally at the same time that the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator's shockwave was sent through the city and nearby surroundings.

 * Farooq Gibran, along with his friends Daria Kim and Jake Davenport, climbed a hill to watch the switching on of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator. Farooq climbed an electrical tower to get a better look. However, the accelerator's shockwave caused Farooq to be electrocuted through the tower and his body fell to the ground. His heart had stopped, so his friends tried CPR on him. However, he was transformed by the accelerator's shockwave and became capable of siphoning electricity. The electricity in his body emerged when he resuscitated, killing his friends. (Source: "The Strongman Cometh")
