A butterfly, waiting to wreak havoc.
A Georgian woman cut off all internet services to Armenia when digging for copper. Tell us your experiences of such mishaps
We've all heard the idea that a butterfly flapping his wings on one side of the world can create a hurricane on the other – the smallest of actions sometimes having earth-shattering consequences.
When a 75-year-old woman from Georgia foraging for copper accidently sliced through an underground cable, the ramifications were no less significant, and rather more direct: she cut off all internet services to Armenia and parts of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Have you ever made a small mistake that's had massive consequences? Or have you been on the receiving end of a minute mishap?
