Never Say Never

During a meeting today we went over some possible worse case scenarios and I noticed my colleague quickly and confidently pointed out that they will not happen.  He sounded really sure and was able to back up his claim with his years of experience.

While it's true that nothing bad in the magnitude described has ever happened, I thought that it wouldn't hurt to have a backup plan anyway.  So far life has taught me "never say never" repeatedly.  It may have never happened before, but if in some bizarre string of coincidences the worse does play out and you're completely unprepared, you're going to be screwed royally and have no one to blame but yourself.
