Great story! Very well told. I can tell you must enjoy retelling it to newbies when they join the company :)

But wow, other than 2 summer breaks being cut short, it sounds like a good outcome. Especially considering no one was seriously hurt

It could have gone way worse. A stressful lesson and a good story is best case scenario outcome when stuff hits the fan.
