[QUOTE="IWorkAsDirected, post: 300640, member: 13559"] One of our drivers had a route which included an out of the way delivery. This was a natural gas line pumping station, and they got packages regularly, especially when they first started up. This day however when he drive up to the gate and honked, no one came around, he yelled, honked and waited awhile. Then he noticed next to the gate was a red button, with no label and assuming it would summon someone or open the gate, he pushed it. Well............... next thing he hears is motors grinding down and someone screaming. Seems he had pushed an emergency shut down button and shut off gas to half of California, it took them several days to get it up again, as the pressure had to be gradually brought up. Needless to say we no longer deliver there, if they get something they pick it up. [/QUOTE]
