I mean, this stuff does happen.

There is an old electric station near me that is used for various things sometimes. Some band was in there shooting a music video and bumped something and somehow the whole area started filling with water. Nobody could stop it.

The government, the water company, everyone was struggling to figure out what to do, and they decided to call the old guy that used to work there. He was in his 90s but he told them how to fix everything.

I would love to read the full story on this.
If it doesn’t end up with an itemised bill of $1 to turn off a stopcock and $999 to know where it is, I’d be disappointed.
