Reply to comment by According-Classic658 in TIL that the Persian King Xerxes was so enraged after a storm destroyed his bridges that he ordered the sea be given 300 whiplashes, and branded it with red-hot irons as the soldiers shouted at the water by LethalPoopstain

Xerxes was enraged and had those responsible for building the bridges beheaded. Not so lucky.
