Does anyone have evidence this happened in 2016? As far as i'm aware, I experienced this event some ~24 years ago (falling into the pen, nearly drowning, being dragged, crawling my way to safety). Perhaps it was a "Quantum Experience", I think it's more likely the years on Wikipedia are being fabricated. 24.138.157.225 (talk) 22:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
