Once, when I was little, we drove by a house that was coincidentally near our trown's water tower. I felt so bad for the people who lived in that house because I was certain that water towers were in reality bomb/nuclear testing facilities and that all water towers would, at some point, explode. I wondered why the people living in that house hadn't already evacuated!
