Well, I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I'll share this story with everyone.
I had a 135 gallon tank (72X20X24) crack right in the centre , and flooded my apartment. 2 janitors were using 2 shopvacs to suck up the water, but couldn't keep up with it. ( I was busy trying to save the fish). The water went from my 6th floor apartment all the way to the underground garage. Luckily, no one sued me.
