Couldn't happen here now that I've retired

Long time ago I worked Noise Monitoring at Gatwick. I used to fall asleep in the van with my feet up on the dashboard - radio volume turned waaaay up so I would hear when someone started up. Unfortunately one night I fel asleep with my foot on the Tx switch, alledgedly, it sounded like overtime was being worked in a sawmill
