I had a user who brought her laptop in to me after she had a car accident. She stated that she wasn't able to get it started. When I opened the lid, I noticed sand and it smelled of sea water. I asked what happened and she stated that she was driving on a road near the coast and had a car accident. The laptop flew out a rear window and landed in the water. The Hard Drive ran just long enough to recover critical files, and that was all she wrote.
