I read abt it many times in fish forums and laughed to myself. Surely this will never happen to me. But I was forced to eat my words last Saturday when my 4ft knife tank overflowed with water during a weekly water change 
There I was sitting in the opposite bedroom highly engrossed while surfing the Internet, my right foot felt something cold and watery . I looked down and wondered where the water came from. The rate of flow was increasing and I traced the source coming from the other room. Then, it hit me that my tank was overflowing!
Water just kept flowing into the Internet bedroom. Floors of both bedroom was flooded! It took me 4 bucket to clear most of the water, a towel and a pair of strong arms and squatting legs to dry the floor. I actually took a video of it

but then again u said that yourself aswell. I always use a giant tub on wheels that i first use to get the water out andthen use to get the water back in so the amount of water will never exceed a certain level...
