I had 2 terminal windows open, one to a lab device and the other was a major datacenter router. Before you reload anything, always make sure you're positive you know exactly what you're reloading.

There have been others, fortunately, most of them were relatively harmless.

I had a colleague once when we both worked for the networking vendor providing support to their customers that turned on a debug that promptly kicked everyone out of the device. She hit enter several times and nothing. So she then said something like "Hey, do you guys have access to the device?" "No, we thought you had access." "I've lost access, can you reboot it?"

..."uh, we'll have to call you back. The device is at an unmanned location about 400 miles away. Someone is going to have to go there to reboot it."

Yeah, I don't think I've ever done anything quite like that.
