Certainly not a good day.

But a REALLY bad day at work was when an operator had his forks too high & punched both of them them through 2 750 lb HE bombs on the ammo pier.

500 pairs of underwear were ruined when they went off low-base, (burning, rather than exploding) sending flames over 100’ in the air.

Fortunately the only injuries were minor burns to the driver, as he bailed over the back of the forklift.

That I would have loved to have seen. Were you present when it happened?
