Things went horribly wrong when an employee wanted to leave work early

Casey, a shipyard worker, had no idea that things will escalate so much that he will end up in prison for 17 long years and a hefty fine of $400 million. On May 23, 2012, Casey J. Fury started a fire on the USS Miami ( S SN-755 ) submarine in order to get off work early. The damages were estimated to cost $700 million. Since the Navy couldn't afford it, the submarine was decommissioned. Initial reports suggested that the fire started from an industrial vacuum cleaner. However, after investigation it was found that a shipyard worker named Casey J. Fury purposely started the fire by igniting some rags in a berthing compartment for the sole purpose to get out of the work early.

Seven people were hurt as per the US Navy. Casey was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $400 million in compensation.
