Scariest shit I ever did was help pull a completely full anhydrous ammonia tank out of a 6 foot ditch. The trailer it was attached to had slid off the gravel road and twisted upside down in the ditch, some nearby farmer bringing it home from fillup. And it was not made to be picked up at all when full, but you know smaller farmer not wanting to lose his ass and farm with it by calling out some hazmat crew to drain it and transfer it. Used an excavator with a chains to very carefully pick it up and roll it out onto the road so they could pull it onto another trailer. If that fucker cracked open basically all of us down in that little valley would have died horribly. But doing dangerous as fuck shit on the cheap is the only way these small time farmers are holding on in the face of corporate monoculture farms, and hope they can survive long enough for those corporate farms to leave the area when the soil is depleted and worthless from their unsustainable practices.
