I can vouch for the inaccuracy of the scuba diver and the Iraqi letter 
bomber.  Those are the only two I looked up.  www.snopes.com  The scuba 
diver is not possible, although I would imagine you could get a little 
bruised up if you were in front of the bomber when it scooped water from 
the lake.

Search on ["forest fire"] ... I think it was the second entry.

Search on ["letter bomb"] ... It was the only entry

They're both from the 90's on the I'net, but the scuba diver story 
apparently originated in the 80's.  I'd bet my SOC # they're all urban 
legends.

Just for grins, I searched on various combinations of ["second class 
operators club"] and [soc] ... no hits.  Wonder how we could get a listing.
