A $290 Million Satellite Takes a Tumble

Irrespective of the magnitude of your error, always bear in mind that you’ll never have to confess to your boss that you shattered a Noaa-N Prime Satellite before it even departed the workshop. How do you even explain that to your boss?

The two men in the back must be thinking, “How can we fix his before someone notices?” It would be advisable for them to attempt to restore it to its original position and assign responsibility to someone else in the event of another mishap.

Were They Trying To Simulate Cloudy Flying Conditions Or Did They Release Fire Suppression Foam?

Within the confines of the military aircraft hangar, an unfortunate incident occurred where fire suppression foam canisters unexpectedly detonated, resulting in a rapid inundation of the entire space with copious amounts of foam. It is a corrosive substance, so there is a high risk for potential damage to the planes.

Also, the foam sucks the oxygen out of the area, so it is harmful to anyone who was in the area when the canisters exploded. Despite its appearance resembling fluffy clouds inviting for a leap, this mistake proves to be quite expensive in reality.

When You Park On Top Of The Hidden Garage

You would think there would be a safety measure installed so that the garage wouldn’t rise if an object were on top. Considering the significant cost involved, it would be reasonable to increase the price slightly to include a crucial safety measure.

Not only was the jeep on top crushed, but the car in the garage was flooded, so the lift malfunctioned causing it to keep rising with the vehicle on top. We can only imagine the amount of money this cost to fix.

Sinking Boats N’ Hoes

When seeking heightened attention from your insurance adjuster for your claim, some individuals resort to placing women in bikinis aboard the sinking boat. Why would anyone think that it is a good time to get an Instagram photo while the ship is sinking?

A Hundred Thousand Dollar Door Stop

If you’ve ever pondered the reasons behind avoiding tailgating, this picture serves as a compelling illustration. The expensive sports car was driving too close to the school bus, and when the bus stopped short, the small car went right under the back of the bus.

This Is Why You Can’t Park On The Beach

While your car may boast four-wheel drive and claim to be “all-terrain,” it is crucial to acknowledge that it cannot guarantee your safety in every conceivable situation. Sand is not very sturdy when you stand on it, so what would make these people think that sand could hold a car’s weight?

Hera03a

While certain beaches permit parking on the dry sand, these individuals took it to another level by driving as close to the water as possible, where the sand is constantly shifting.

Boop!

“Good news; we upgraded your cabin to our Open-Air Elite Suit.” Luckily no one was injured in this situation, but someone was definitely yelled at for docking the ships so close together on a windy day. Popular internet folklore suggests that placing the damaged object in rice or filling the cracks with ramen can miraculously remedy the situation.

“Oh, The Landslide Will Bring It Down”

There was a landslide on a highway in Taiwan in 2010, and this was the aftermath. It looks like its time to film a Jeep commercial. “Late to work? Not if you have a Jeep.” The dilemma arises as to whether it would be more prudent to attempt clearing the obstruction or if it would be wiser to accept the loss and construct a new tunnel.

Tough Break!

One could almost suspect that this was a deliberate act. The truck’s bed is loaded with tires, creating a heavy weight at the back, seemingly contributing to the situation at hand. Second, the lift was only put on the front end of the truck. They had to have known what the results would be in this situation. Surely, there must be a simpler and more efficient method for removing the bed of a truck.

Rather than risking damage to the bed or other components in the workshop, they could have explored alternative solutions that would have yielded better results.

Burning Money Would Be Less Expensive

The person in the corner filing the report must be writing, “Red car one was hit by red car two as it drove into the middle lane and hit red car three into the safety rail.” All three Ferraris in the picture have been completely wrecked, resulting in a loss of over $300,000.

You can only hope that they weren’t racing illegally and that no one was seriously injured, but people do dumb things sometimes, so you never know.

This Car Used Was Worth $1.5 Million, Keyword: Was

This vintage Aston Martin, which previously held a value of $1.5 million, has significantly depreciated in worth due to the inflicted damage. Q, the mastermind behind Bond’s gadgets, is likely to be infuriated by the destruction of such a remarkably expensive vehicle by Bond himself.

This Moment Will Be Cemented In Their Memories Forever

In the event that the insurance company inquiries about the incident, there exists tangible evidence for explanation. However, it does raise curiosity as to why the men are merely observing the drying process instead of promptly hosing off the car to potentially salvage it. They must know there is no way to save the car, so they might as well watch the events unfold.

What Cartoon Character Did It Land On?

During the process of lifting a piano out of a recording studio in Canada, the movers unfortunately dropped it.

Are Those Neon Whales Or The Aftermath Of A Train Derailment?

Back in 2014, a train transporting the cabins of Boeing planes derailed, causing the plane parts to plunge into the river below. Imagine you are white water rafting with your family, and suddenly planes start sliding into the river, that would be terrifying. It is not accurate or fair to suggest that Boeing intentionally pre-crashes their planes for customer convenience.

PerciFlage88

Accidents and incidents involving plane transportation can occur due to various factors, but it is important to note that airplane manufacturers strive to ensure safety and reliability in their products. It’s probably cheaper to test them in transit rather than when people are on them. Also, these look like giant caterpillars emerging from the water at first glance.

I Told You! No Metal Carts!

Someone at the hospital made a very costly mistake. The MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine operates as a colossal and potent magnet, which is why it is crucial to avoid wearing any metal when entering the room housing the machine. The hospital employee must have forgotten about the magnetic factor and brought a metal table into the room with the MRI.

The cart got stuck to the machine, and $5 million was lost because of a very simple mistake. Indeed, there are undoubtedly signs posted outside the door explicitly stating “no metal allowed.” Hence, the person has no excuse for encountering this problem, as clear instructions were provided to prevent such incidents.

The Slide Is Supposed To Be Opened Outside, Right?

Due to an inadvertent error, the slide that is meant to be deployed upon opening the door was accidentally inflated inside the plane. Each time such a slide is utilized, it incurs a significant cost of $25,000. Thankfully no one was on the plane, or the airline would have lost more money to refund all their tickets.
