I consider these moments lead catastrophe in Romeo and Juliet:

2. Friar John is quarantined and cannot deliver the letter to Romeo. He was not able to reach Romeo in time and tell him that Juliet is still alive, so I bet this moment could lead to a catastrophe.

3. Romeo is impatient and acts as soon as he hears that Juliet is dead. Even though it's always hard to keep calm when you see or hear about your loss, but Romeo didn't even tried to take a breath and check if Julies is truly dead.

5. Romeo behaves rashly and buys poison from the apothecary. This is the main problem of the last acts of the story. If these young people would not act so rashly, they both could stay alive.
