Ill never forget;

I was a Title Runner when I was 18 in Reno. The Clarion had been purchased, and renamed Atlantis - and they were adding on/remodeling it...

I was driving by and there was a crane lifting a pile of I-Beams to the top of the tower... and as I was driving, I looked and thought "Damn, that would suck if they dropped that"

THE CABLE IMMEDIATELY BROKE and all the beams fell like 15 stories!!!

I got really freaked out and said "Ill never focus on disasters like that again."

Luckily nobody was injured, but I was mentally scarred.
