Fall of Shiganshina
After a hundred years of peace, a Colossal Titan appears out of nowhere and kicks in Shiganshina's outer gate. Pure Titans flood the district as the population flees inward. An Armored Titan then destroys Wall Maria's inner gate, dooming the entire territory. Eren, Mikasa and Armin survive thanks to Hannes, but Carla Yeager is devoured before her son's eyes.

How it unfolded
The Colossal's kick
The Colossal Titan peers over the wall and destroys Shiganshina's outer gate with a kick; the debris flattens houses and the Titans begin to pour in.
Carla's death
The Yeager house collapses and traps Carla. Hannes chooses not to face the smiling Titan and flees carrying Eren and Mikasa; the Titan devours Carla.
The Armored breaks the inner gate
As people evacuate by boat, the Armored Titan rams Wall Maria's inner gate. Humanity loses a third of its territory.
Marley's infiltrators
The Colossal was Bertholdt Hoover and the Armored was Reiner Braun, Warriors sent by Marley along with Annie Leonhart to retrieve the Founding Titan.
The Smiling Titan
The Titan who devoured Carla was Dina Fritz, Grisha's first wife, turned into a Pure Titan on Paradis by the Marleyan authorities.
The loss of Marcel
Before the attack, Ymir's Titan devoured Marcel Galliard and took the Jaw Titan from him; Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie continued the mission without him.
