As Lord Vader would say - "Impressive. Most impressive."


I'll bet the real reason this happened was that someone forgot to carry the one. All kidding aside its amazing that no one was killed in this.

Well there are a few drill men not worth the weight in salt…..

Lucky no one got killed

Wow.... thats a mistake on a big big scale. With such an important calculation I'd have it checked by other engineers before handing it off.

That's one big bathtub to drain.

Must have been an impressive sight. I wonder if it was captured on video or film.
