I just saw this thread, I also hoped for a more exciting ending... Cera can you please making something up to give the at home reader a great ending? I would like a explosion or something along the lines of "we opened the valve and its STILL letting air out 2 days later, so seriously people it wasn't at 200"
or at least just pistol whip someone!
I vote most interesting thread so far in 2011

Re: Strangest equipment failure ever!
Thanks for making me smile at the end of this "heavy thread". Ok here you go.
That's what could have happened, but here is what really happened:
So I take the tank to the shop and when they go to open the valve instead of air, it screams like an old woman. They give me a strange look and try it again. As they open the valve farther the scream gets deeper and more masculine. When the man screaming is finished, they take off the valve and out jumps a miniature Saber-Toothed Timber Tiger!
If you thought I was upset that I wasn't getting air imagine how he felt, sending me code through the valve that no one could decipher. Man was he pissed, I won’t tell you the conversation that transpired between us but you can guess it wasn’t pretty. And then the entire dive shop exploded. But since it wasn't really a dive shop, but The Restaurant at the End of the Universe it made much more sense to me, which is fortunate, because now we can go back to our own time and choose to redo this entire post!
This story is almost entirely true. I have the proof on a You-tube video that is no way edited or faked. But it can only be accessed if you live in Greenland unfortunately, so maybe next time you are on vacation there you can look it up. And then after you get back from vacation you can back me up here on this forum, because as real as this story seems to you and me, some people may think it is slightly less than true. Although, now that I think about it, it could have been a Sea Squirrel, because a Timber Tiger would be just be ridiculous....

I live in Greenland and cannot get the video on youtube. I think you're wrong about that video Cera. Are you completely certain that video is available in Greenland?Cera wrote: I have the proof on a You-tube video that is no way edited or faked. But it can only be accessed if you live in Greenland
