I've seen equipment damaged in ways that defy the laws of physics.

A company called Tera sent me a CRT television so I could write a user
manual. It was shipped by train, and arrived damaged. One of the circuit
boards was attached with metal bracket arms that had been bent /backwards/ a
great distance. Assuming this was not the result of a deliberate act of
sabotage, I am at a loss to understand it. It could not have been the result
of simple vibration.
