I worked at a company were someone deleted the production RDS and all the snapshots.

Typing the confimation and requesting to delete the snapshots.

He had two brosers open, one for development (of cloudformation, etc)... but someone did ask him to change a thing in prod.

Both browsers were identical. Only the account in the top right corner did change.

Both cloudformation stacks were identical (instance names, etc).

He had been all the morning launching and deleting the dev environment.

Team mates were joking loud around his table before the moment it did happen.

Sadly, he got fired (the company was proud of it's cost savy choices, didn't have other backups than a few days of snapshots, probably CTO choice).
