The only thing which comes close to fulfilling the prophecy is the earthquake in Guatemala, which was a tragedy, but hardly something which saddened the whole world. 40 years ago with no rolling news, most people would be completely unaware of the true extent of the devastation. However, the "from the source" makes no sense at all if the earthquake was what was meant.
The prophecy is so vague as to be meaningless anyway, and given that disasters resulting in loss of life occur with depressing frequency, it's really unimpressive.
