bad things happen to good systems because human beings aren't as perfect
as they think they are.

Had one like that at CESR once too : outside group's experimental setup
involving a tank of H2., main valve failed, 2nd valve failed, regulator
failed, tubing split, big leak...fortunately no source of ignition
...you'd think they would do a dry run of their equipment outdoors.
