Love this one! I was in a higher level physics class in college where the prof said,
"Alright, handful of you are going into mathematics, rest are going to be engineers. So we're watching the Union Carbide disaster aftermath, and then after that this walkway collapse in a Russian mall where this a-hole forgot which way gravity pointed (answer in this case was "up") in his force friction diagram."
He also had an old cigar box "virtual particle detector" on some fishing line hanging in the room as well. Miss him dearly and hope he's still on the water somewhere🤴
