Suffering for my art...darkroom mishap

yesterday evening, after a 5 hours printing session I had the genius idea to develop some films... it wasn't as genius as i thought!! I ruined 4 Tri-x... to my luck I waited to start a second batch with 4 additional films (4x AGFA APX 100)! No clue what happend, the films turned out completely blank, even without perforation marks...

that are roughly 120 frames, destroyed within 30mins... **** happens! still do not know what went wrong!!

Thou shall never underestimate the power of Murphy's law.

Been there, done that, no matter what is "that", I did it!
 
Okay...if I can stop laughing I'll feel better.

For a little while there, I thought I was the only one making silly mistakes!

Thanks for the camaraderie.
 
Don't forget to label cameras that have film in them too. I was messing with my Zorki the other day and opened up the back, only to find that I had just exposed half a roll of FP4+. I had no idea that I left film in the camera. No little window on the back of the camera in 1977 either... hmmm. Next time, I'll use some tape before I store the camera for more than an hour.
