     ---Seizures - Did you or anyone you know experience a seizure about the time of the crash?

     ---Animal Behavior - Aberrant behavior in usually mild-mannered animals

     ---Electrical - Did your lights burn out about this time? Would your car not start? Did your appliance heat up even to the point of starting a fire?

     ---Mechanical - Did your machine experience difficulties when it rarely has problems - this would include hydraulic machinery.
