Sodom and Gomorrah- Katy

Three Angels were sent to Abraham. One was the lord and he told Abraham that he was going to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah unless good people lived there. To prove it, the other two angels went to the cities. They were met by Lot, Abraham's relative. Lot fed them and took them to his house. Some men demanded that they have sex with the Angels which enraged both Lot and the Angels. Instead, Lot offered his two virgin daughters. The men outside were furious and rioted. In response the two angels blinded all the men, and ran off with Lot and his family. As they ran away to the village of Zoar, Lot's wife looked back and was turned to a pillar of salt. The lord then rained down burning sulfur on the two cities. 

 Obviously in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah the people living there were impenitent. Not feeling bad for their sins was the cause of their destruction. Whether or not this was unfair punishment relies on your beliefs. In today's society, some may believe that impenitence should lead to heavy punishments, but I think people should have time to reflect and possibly change their views on their sins.
