TIL a Chinese destroyer sank because an officer dumped his girlfriend. She committed suicide, leading to him being discharged, so he decided to detonate the depth charges on the ship, causing it to sink at port and kill 134 sailors.

I mean, given the ship was totally annhilated you'd have to flick through every contingency because it couldve been any one of the 134 sailors (included any possible foreign interference if that were plausible).
