In Turkey during the year 2005 , when the shepherds left for their lunch leaving behind the sheeps together for grazing.
One sheep decided to jump off a cliff, to it's death. As sheep are natural followers, 1,500 others followed, each blindly leaping off the cliff.
However, only 450 animals died because the ones who jumped off later fell atop the fluffy cushions that were the dead sheep. While it may be easy to laugh at this and dismiss it as “baaaaad” luck, the truth is that it was a huge economical blow for the shepherds. The estimated loss to the families topped $100,000, a significant portion in a country where average GDP per head is around $2,700.
