Changing direction

In principle, the product owner of an agile project could, at any moment, throw out all the backlog of stories and take the product in a completely new direction. For the book chapter I'm writing, I'd like to give a couple of examples of radical change. What's the biggest change to the backlog that you've seen?

Obfuscate all details. I just would like to be able to say, "One correspondent told of 50% of the stories changing one rainy afternoon" or "... told how, in 2000, their consumer e-commerce site was redirected to become an air traffic control system."

Mail me. Thanks.
