I think I can beat that ... work commissioned a new data centre on the
ground floor of a high rise hall of residence for students. Just a few
weeks before we were due to move the kit in, the sewage system went
bang in a big way and started dumping raw sewage from roughly 900
toilets into the room over an entire weekend.

Fortunately the concrete floor had been sealed so we didn't have to rip
it up and start again.
