I've heard more of those and lived some easier ones. At university one
of my unspoken tasks was to salvage capsizing final projects. When
people took on a huge hardware project and got stuck. For some reason a
large number were hobby-sailors, even though my alma mater is hundreds
of miles from any coast.

Once when on a semi-submersible oil rig we had a major strom go through.
Middle of the North Sea, all land was far away. We had to go under deck,
fast. Then ... *KAPOCK* ... "What was that?" ... "Probably one of the
anchors but we've got another seven" ... "So what if another breaks?"
... "If it's at the same corner we'd be in a bad situation". Another
"fun situation" was a gas alert. Those can end in a fire ball.
