Warning: Dropped a cutterhead chain on the dredge in Louisiana last month

I was working the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge and one of the chain links snapped while we were swapping cutterheads. That thing hit the deck with a bang and it took me and two guys an hour to fish it out of the water. Has anyone else had a chain failure during a head change or did I just get unlucky?
