Your funniest failures?

What have your funniest mining catastrophes been?

I've only played a few games so far, but my best was an absolutely horrific flooding of all of my mines in about 3 seconds.

My Dwarves had dug quite deep into the map and things were going great. I'd walled up an underground lake early on that was near my base.

Anyway, suddenly I see a level 1 miner inquisitively digging his way towards the wall while I was in the midst of sealing it all up. In panic I try to arrow him the other way...and succeed.

Then I see a second digger right afterwards go straight for the wall, rupture it and the water immediately spilt into a 3 block wide tunnel, overrunning my town centre as I frantically failed at dropping walls everywhere

What have your best disasters been?
