Whenever I see a message about "dropped packets" my mind goes back to dropping a packet of flour down the stairwell in a block of flats.

Only if you were the one at the bottom of the stairwell at the time.

Or if you had yeast to throw at it and make it rise.

How far did it get before it stopped being a packet and turned into just flour?

About three floors of decent - the wrapping never made it to the ground floor, but the contents covered almost the whole of the flat surfaces of the ten floors of the stairwell.

"mad tenant" was the arts student lower down the building who didn't appreciate the clean-up technique deployed by the physics & engineers from elsewhere in the building. (Think fire hoses....)

People Called The Bomb Squad After Paranormal Investigators Forgot A Ghost Hunting Device Inside A Building
“It was not intentionally done. It was just forgetfulness.”
Paranormal investigators in Windsor, Ontario, say they're sorry for getting the bomb squad involved after leaving a ghost-hunting device lying around.

This week, police were called to Mackenzie Hall, a historic building in west Windsor, after people came across a suspicious black box with a blue light and a red wire sticking out.

"Investigation revealed that a suspicious item was left in a room within the building," police said in a news release. "Officers from the Windsor Police Explosive Disposal Unit attended the scene and were able to render the package 'safe.'"

It would be a fire alarm. Had one go off at work. To much dust was in the air around one.

Money flies out of Brinks truck onto highway, causing ‘chaotic’ scene
INDIANAPOLIS -- Police are asking anyone who found loose money on an Indiana highway Wednesday to return it, according to WXIN.

A wild scene unfolded around 9:00 a.m. on westbound I-70, near Holt Road, when the back security door on a Brinks truck came open.

“Bags of money were falling out of the back onto the interstate," said ISP Corporal Brock McCooe. “Sort of something out of a movie scene, where you have bills, loose bills flying all over the interstate, vehicles stopping, people getting out of their cars.”

Troopers at the scene initially said up to $600,000 had flown across the interstate, but police later said the exact amount was not known.

... McCooe said taking money from the scene is considered theft.
