Getting acquainted with collapsing floors by mining out a few tiles of island in a murky pool, then watching them plummet through several floors of my fortress, killing the miner and using perfect precision to land on a craftsdwarf, killing him as well.

worst monent i had with cave ins was when i accidentally removed the one piece of wall that had the kingpin support suspending the fort over a volcano. i have never seen such a long list of " " has died in the heat.

ach my worst moment was realising i could save ballista arrows by channeling in front of the wall so it falls down and i lost 7 dwarves and 9 pets when they decided to go cleanup the mess and get pinned against the walls. the other time was when i made a water resivoir and channeled the wrong tile BEFORE the door was in place. god i hated carp when the fort got flooded
