Thank goodness the RO was attentive and doing his job the right way.

This video would be great for training a less experienced person.  I don't know how long I had been shooting before I heard of a squib.  I (un?)luckily experienced one when I first started reloading.  I say "un?" because using a brass rod to tap out the squib was not what I wanted to be doing at the time, but it WAS a good learning experience.  I am glad that I now know what it sounds and feels like.  I am hoping I will be able to catch it if it happens again to myself or others. 

While my squib was with one of my very early reloads, I have heard of a surprising number of squibs with quality brand name manufacturers.  Many speculated that it was a result of the manufacturers working around the clock to get caught up with the most recent panic.  Not sure if that is true, just speculation.

Possibly worse is the hang-fire:
