Numerical simulations of tokamak plasmas are presented which reproduce the basic observed behavior of disruptions. Details are given of the onset of the disruption-initiated in the simulations by the $m=2$ island intersecting the limiter or cold-gas region---and of the mechanism of the final (total or partial) plasma loss.
