I unfortunately have had the sinking feeling as a camera drops out of sight. In 1985, while on a trip to the Quebec Cartier Railway, I was setting up on a cliff above the north end of tunnel A when the strap on my Pentax SPF broke. I tried to grab it, but missed (wasn't going to dive for it standing by a 200+ foot drop!). Heard one clunk as it bounced of a rock, and then many seconds of silence before a distant smash! Direct hit right between the rails. Fortunately I had two other bodies with me, although now I regret photographing the wreckage - was too darn *&%*$#** off!
