I was looking to see if a Saturn V every needed to be rolled back to the VAB for repairs (it doesn't look like it) and I came across this story about engineers trying to collect data on the Saturn V's swaying dynamics by pushing and pulling on it in the VAB. The test ended with the LES truss breaking and the test motor, filled with sand to imitate the weight of a real LES motor, falling all the way to the floor of the VAB.
It's always the stupid LES truss.
The Saturn V in the story, 500F, is the one on display in Huntsville today.
