During takeoff in Denver a Southwest Airlines 737-800 lost an engine cowling (the part that covers the engine) and had to return to the airport and apparently passengers made phone videos of the incident instead of doing what they should have been doing during a Life-Threatening Emergency: making false promises to God to quit (fill-in-the-blank with the sinful activity of your choice) if He And/Or She got them back on the ground safely.
Actually, up here in the northern tip of Virginia several elephants did escape from a local amusement park during a thunderstorm in 1906. A couple of them did a fair amount of wandering around before they were rounded up by a traveling Wild West Show that was passing through. There's no evidence of their drinking habits, but locals did joke that a number of local heavy drinkers went on the wagon when they woke up one morning and saw an elephant in their garden.
