Oh for the days of not feeling old...  

When it comes to accidental disasters, imagine a mainframe console
complex.  A couple of periscope tubes, a couple of paper terminals
all sitting on something similar to big 3 wall desk.  Where the
drawers would be is a bunch of electorics to drive the screens, etc.
Where a drawer handle would be is a recessed 5x5 panel with a bright
red emergency power off (EPO) PULL button.  If you weren't careful,
you could actually push into that square with your knee, but it's a
pull, not a push so someone did a little work to get that correct.

Now the operator sit's her purse on the free "desk" space above
the EPO. Long straps on the purse.  Later she gets up to take a
break and the whole machine room goes quiet.  Oops.

Next morning there is a sheet of clear plex over the hole.  The
whole front of the cabinet is hinged so it's still easy to get to
the EPO if needed.
