Wildest Diversion Tale?

What's your wildest diversion tale on CO?

I flew MIA-EWR last week...but with snow at EWR, was diverted to IAD ...but because of lengthy hold at IAD, had a fuel emergency that brought us down to RDU in a hurry. Almost 10 hours on the plane for that MIA-EWR run, but fortunately was in F on a 752

I remember back in '04, a NRT-IAH flight was diverted to Midway Atoll where passengers enjoyed an expected stay (which included a tour of the island) due to an oil pressure problem in one of its engines.

My only other diversion experience in all my years of flying was going ORD-EWR, but due to traffic in EWR, we diverted to BOS for fuel. We actually had BOS bound passengers deplane there, although I presume their bags flew as originally expected.
