    In July 1976, a huge robbery of the Societe Generale bank in Nice, France would have been 10 times bigger if not for what seemingly unrelated event?

    		From an episode of the TV program Masterminds: The robbery was made by tunneling into the bank vault from a nearby sewer. During the robbery a large storm swept in, threatening to flood the sewer and block the thieves' route of escape. So the heist was abandoned early.
