Two broken bass strings in one tuning?????

[Avery]

Well, while we're telling stories! :-)

I was tuning an older Bose the other day at the university and a 
treble string broke. I actually felt it fly by my head! Thankfully, 
it didn't strike me in the face. I wasn't wearing my glasses at the 
time. Maybe I should!

I've had bass strings break but they usually fly the other way! 
Sometimes I really hate those individually tied strings on a Bose but 
that is the first time I've had that happen!
