Car Modelling "ACCIDENTS"

I figured i would start a post about model misfortune.  This idea came to me the other day.  Im sure everybody has a story or pics of something that went bad wrong.  Maybe we can keep this going.  Heres my story..............

This past week, I decided to rearrange my hooby room/workshop.  I was almost done placing everything, when a shelf decided to fall that had 6 models on it.  Three of the models hit the floor, and 3 stayed on the shelf?????!!!!  Why they all couldnt stay on the shelf i dont know.  Two of them i was able to fix pretty easy, nothing broke.......BUT.....one did not stay simple and will have to be put back together pretty majorly.  And to beat all, it WAS an award winning car.  As you can see, it was a nice car.  I will be "restoring " it in the next few days.  The car itself was picked up that way (with the body almost off the chassis and hood knocked to the side), the rest of the pieces i had to hunt for.  The only reason they all didnt fall i guess, is i was right next to the shelf and able to catch it.

IF you have any pics of something like this, feel free to show them here.  If you got pics of the model before the "accident" and then after......and maybe when you were able to fix it, post them to.  We can just  have fun with this.  Here are mine.........
