DUDE for real ! this myth is a hell of alot more feeseable b/c no TARD is EVER going to try and get a 1000 Gal up four floors this one is based in fact. the fact that ppl HAVE tanks for walls. Fact ppl get fired from there jobs and subsequently get pissed. Fact ppl shot other ppl for firing them from there jobs
lugging a 1000Gal tank up four floors hahahaha being stupid enough to fill it once u got it up that far when u know the floor is made out of wood not concrete LOL. having a penny somehow make it up the elevator into the apartment and into the tank and NOT notice it in the HOURS that it would take to fill said tank by using tap water LOL. those things are far fetched indeed.

some of us are trying to get a point across to you here... It's MYTH busters. Nobody here's experienced a tank going through the floor so that makes it, by definition, a myth. why is everyone hung up on the 1000 gallon tank? It doesn't have to be 1000 gallons. How many threads have you and I seen here about people putting 200 gallon tanks upstairs and the thread is titled something like "holy crap I'm scared" or "look what I'm risking?" IT'S A MYTH!!!!! Make the show 'Factbusters' and then we'll talk.
the tank going thru the floor will probably always remain a myth, as a structural engineer a six foot long tank 3 maybe 4 2x4's with half inch or 3/4 inch decking will not allow a tank to fall thru, this floor will hold 5000 lbs per sq ft, another thing, if the 2x4 broke the decking would not allow the tank to go thru the floor, the tank would break because of stress water would be every where, still on the same floor
