Since the Observatory is equipped with a vast array of interior and exterior microphones, all events on Observatory grounds are recorded and reviewed daily and logged. Usually, the recording mechanism is then purged and reset for the following day. However, over time (especially in the Observatory's early years) "Disasters" would occur. In these situations, the recording is held for posterity. The full documentation of the disasters (below) are on pages 67-72 in the Snodgrass Observatory book.

October 26th, 1992: During a week-long
experiment involving a
specialized
turbo-gyrotiller, Snodworker #14 suffers an injury to his foot while
tilling Starboard Plot
A52. (26 sec.)
December 21st, 1995: Due to an epidemic
of croup,
compensatory realignment of the
Observatory was neglected for an entire year. This was utter
negligence. Not preparing for the Doppler
Shift through the Principle of Incremental Ambulation proved to be
costly.
( 1 min., 39 sec.)
April 1st, 1996: What was thought to be
simply a joke
propagated by the Zerb
turned out to be much, much more. The machine is neither
stagnant, ignorant, nor uniformed, but is rather a complex digital mind
which can prove to be obstinate and self-serving. (first 30 sec.)
August 10th, 1998: A
defective bolt
leads to a horrific
explosion of the Condensing Chamber in the Equiptile wing. (29 sec.)
