Non-flying:

The famous German conductor of the 50s and 60s, Carl Bohm, worked with an orchestra in the US for a while. They didn't like him at all, and frequently teased him about his not-very-good English, as he'd often say things that were technically correct, but not idiomatic English.

One rehearsal, he lost his temper, and throwing his stick to the floor, shouted
"You people, you so-superior people, you think I know **** Nothing. Well, I tell you, I know **** All!"

Collapse of entire band.
