Tried to sous vide a steak in Denver and my vacuum sealer died mid-bag

I was prepping dinner last Saturday. Got the water bath going at 130 degrees. Went to seal the bag with my cheap FoodSaver and it just stopped working. Meat was already in the bag with salt and pepper. Had to use the zipper lock method and pray it didn't leak. Anyone else have a kitchen gadget fail at the worst possible moment?

Gotta love Denver's altitude. The lower air pressure messes with vacuum sealers sometimes. That zipper bag probably leaked during the cook.

Makes sense, Denver air is no joke.
