Snapped a fiber drop yesterday in a crawlspace at 4pm

I was pulling a new RG6 through a tight spot behind a furnace and my fish tape caught on a nail head. Snapped the fiber clean trying to force it past, had to call my supervisor and eat a 2 hour delay. Anyone else had a fish tape fail on them at the worst possible time?

Ugh, the worst timing for a snag!

Shook my head when I read that. Wait, you're telling me this happened during the actual live event? Not during rehearsal or setup the night before? That's honestly wild. I can't imagine the panic of trying to fix something in real time with everyone watching. Must have been total chaos behind the scenes.
