The attached horrific picture was taken at an air show in Canada. An aircraft being flown for display purposes goes out of control, narrowly misses a crowd of spectators and slams into four buildings, none of which had obstruction lights fitted despite their proximity to the airfield. One can only imagine the horror of the occupants of those building as they see their doom approaching. No one was killed but the terror induced by the mishap is well illustrated by the reports that human feces were spread all over the area.
True story: About five years ago I was in the john pinching off a loaf when a customer screwed up parking her car (on the outside of the loo) and accelerated into and partially through the wall of the bathroom.
I'm not sure but I think that particular turd probably came close to its critical Mach before hitting the water.
No aircraft or vehicles involved, but I was on the can when the Whittier Quake struck.
It has been said that a bathroom is one of the safest places in a structure during an earthquake - but it makes it difficult to grab the roll of toilet paper...
I was in the World Series Earthquake of 1989. And that business of "stand in doorway" does not work too well when you have 20 people in a conference room and only two doorways.
The occupants of those four buildings would not have seen the impending crash. With no time to react, they would have simply found themselves in a world of shit.

That's not a disaster, that's our new sport: Hot Air Bal-bowling. If you don't get a strike, you have to come around again for the spare and that could take days!
