3. Reminds me of the falling coconut incident in the Bahamas

On a vacation at a newly opened resort. Beautiful tropical evening on an outdoor patio that had coconut trees, not those palm trees but actual coconut trees with coconuts at the top. Drinks, music in background, waves lapping at the beach a few yards away then - WHAM. A coconut falls on a table next to us shattering its glass top.

Needless to say, we moved to another table and the management fell all over themselves apologizing - free dinner BTW.

Next day, area was cordoned off, tables removed and we were told the coconut trees were going to be replaced.
