At the previous SWE we had a freezer failure. It was a vertical freezer, thankfully, not horizontal.

It was a potent mix of squid, a saved for sharking bluefin carcass, bunker, and dead eels.

The freezer was well sealed and minimally used so it took a while to detect that something was wrong. And it was very, VERY wrong. Not sure how long it had been cooking for but there was a yellow slurry with barely indentifiable bits from the various creatures that were in there.

Now I grew up working on a farm, so less then desirable smells don't phase me as much as others but even I was impressed and it remains a benchmark in foulness. Everyone else was instantly dry heaving and running outside. It was comedy...

Took a lot of Ozium and time to knock the smell out of there.
