I've actually had an excavator take out my network. I've also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.

How about a bus? The fiber to a datacenter i used to work at kept going out at almost consistent intervals during almost normal business hours. Turns out the conduit wasn't deep enough and the city built a bus stop on top of it and it would sag just enough to go out but only when a bus was at the stop.

That's pretty similar with what happened with me and the train. Kept getting random drops from a plant. I went out to investigate and everything tested perfect and the network was staying up. That was until a freight train rolled by. Turns out AT&T had run the line by shoving a piece of PVC through the gravel between two cross-ties, then running the cable through it.
