Drove My Chevy to the Levee

Challenger: In 1993, 24-year-old James Scott lived on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.His wife worked in the Missouri side. All Scott wanted to do was "party", but his wife wouldn't let him.
Bad Idea: Scott removed some sandbags from a nearby levee, hoping the river would wash out the road that his wife used to take home.
Outcome: Not only did Scott wash out the road...he also flooded 14,000 acres, destroying crops as well as dozens of homes and businesses, and causing a local bridge to be closed for more than three months. After bragging about his "success" to his friends, Scott was arrested and sentenced to life in prison (the maximum penalty for "causing a catastrophe")

Şi ca să meargă, the good old "When the levee breaks".
