Engineer Destroys Workshop Computers With Compressed-Air
|
2.8
In the early 1980s, a structural engineer at a welding shop cleaned five AutoCAD PCs with compressed shop air and destroyed them. The 90 PSI air, about 80% air, 15% water and 5% oil, blew out memory chips and contaminated components, causing irrecoverable work-in-progress file loss and requiring full replacements. The company later dismissed the engineer after unrelated misconduct.
Scoring Rationale
Low practical novelty and narrow shop-specific scope, though useful safety reminder; anecdotal single-source account limits broader impact.
