A $290 Million Satellite Takes a Tumble

Incredibly Unlucky People Who Broke Some Very Expensive Objects — Snow-Lemur

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?

These are the appearances people adopt when feigning to have their lives in order, while the reality is evident in the crumbling circumstances surrounding them.

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 individual received a fitting consequence for driving in such close proximity to a school bus. Yes, it is annoying to be stuck behind as it stops every few minutes, but you can clearly see how dangerous it is.

Now They Have A Split-Level

It is highly unlikely that duct tape or super glue will serve as viable solutions for this predicament. In Florida, a crane has caused severe damage by splitting the roof in half, resulting in significant repercussions for someone’s job security.

Maybe the homeowners were getting a divorce, so they decided to split their possessions, and one partner took it too literally.

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?

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.

This server has unfortunately toppled over, and all we can do is bid farewell, acknowledging its remarkable RAM. One can only imagine the exorbitant costs involved in repairing such a device. People probably had so many computer issues because of this.

Houston, We Have A Problem

Due to an unfortunate mishap, a technician “accidentally” discharged a Vulcan Cannon, resulting in the destruction of an F-16 aircraft that was stationary on the runway. Fortunately, no one was inside or harmed, but it remains an exceedingly costly mistake to have occurred.

If you are wondering what happened to the technician, he is now a hygiene technician, aka janitor, because he lost his job. The plane cannon wasn’t the only thing being fired that day.

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.

However, in the case depicted, the ship on the left effortlessly sliced into the object, akin to cutting through butter, highlighting the immense destructive capabilities of such vessels.

“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.

Hopefully, there were not many cars passing through at the time of this incident.

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 is a very sad sight because it is like watching money get up and walk out of your bank account. The repairs probably cost an arm and a leg, but it would be worth it to restore this iconic car.

When You Break A $16,000 Bottle Of Wine On Your First Day Of Work

This individual’s day took a turn for the worse when they accidentally shattered a 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild bottle of wine, valued at $16,000. The thought of being the person responsible for breaking such a tremendously expensive wine is undoubtedly daunting, especially when it comes to informing their boss about the mishap.

Since its open and they are probably getting fired anyway, they might as well enjoy the remaining win that’s left in the bottle. There is no reason for something that expensive to go to complete waste.

Talk About Running Aground

This crash serves as a fitting metaphor for the contrasting appearance of an individual going out on a Saturday night versus their disheveled state upon waking up on Sunday morning. The remarkable speed at which the boat was traveling is evident, considering the color transformation of the lifeboat following the collision.

These boats were built in the ’80s, so they were bound to crash at some point. Also, if 2020 was a boat, this is what it would look like in January versus March.

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.

If they say, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” their insurance agent will magically appear and save the day. Subsequently, they can find amusement in this absurd and ludicrous situation.

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. The rare and very expensive grand piano was ruined forever, and all the movers had to say was that it was “Kaputt.” This sounds like a scene out of a cartoon when the piano falls on the character walking underneath.

As a result, the piano crushes the character, leaving them flattened like a crushed accordion, and upon escaping, the piano limps away, displaying the aftermath of the mishap.

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.

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.

What The Hail?

While this one is not a user mistake, we can still blame mother nature for ruining these solar panels. The renewable energy infrastructure is in need of immediate renewal. One can only hope that the owners had insurance coverage to compensate for the damage caused by the hail storm on the solar panels.

It looks like nature is starting to fight back. Mother nature said, “you think you can use my sunlight and turn it into energy for free? “Oh hail no!” She expressed her fury, despite recognizing that renewable energy is superior for the environment.

In certain instances, Karma takes charge, ensuring that individuals receive what they deserve. In this particular case, the person chose to keep their dog in the garage alongside their Porsche, resulting in an outcome that can be seen as a consequence of their actions.

The dog did not like being cooped up, so it started biting and scratching the side of the car. You shouldn’t leave a dog locked in a garage because it can get too hot, and there is not enough room for it to walk around. The Porsche became the world’s most expensive chew toy.

30 Gaming Systems and 2,000 Games Destroyed In A Fire

Following the meticulous creation of an ideal man cave, complete with 30 gaming systems and over 2,000 games, the room tragically fell victim to a devastating house fire, resulting in its complete destruction. How does a man mourn the loss of not only his favorite room in the house but also an entire collection of video games? For anyone who has a nice gaming room in their house with high-value items, make sure you get it insured so that you can try to get everything brand new.

While it is terrible that certain irreplaceable items were likely lost in the fire, there is some consolation in the fact that the individual could potentially receive insurance compensation to acquire new belongings or rebuild the space in a different manner.

The sheer magnitude of the monetary loss incurred when this entire wine shelf toppled, leaving behind a scene reminiscent of a crime scene, is unbelievable. The person caught in the predicament faced a difficult decision: risk being crushed by the falling bottles or allow the catastrophe to unfold.

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. Something sharp would be useful to pop this, but TSA took all the tweezers and nail scissors away.

Among the various ways one might contemplate meeting their demise on a plane, suffocating beneath an adult bounce house is certainly an unexpected and improbable scenario.

“Who Is Going To Tell The Boss?”

What is yellow and can’t swim? An excavator. Why can’t it swim, you ask? There is just a solitary arm, devoid of its counterpart. It appears that in the face of any calamitous scenario, a handful of men invariably gather, their gazes fixed in astonishment.

If only they had a machine that could dig this out…oh wait. If they send a second excavator in to rescue it, it will probably get stuck as well.

Money Cannot Be Sanitized In The Microwave

An individual had the peculiar notion of placing their money in the microwave as a means of disinfecting it. However, this unconventional attempt at cleanliness resulted in the unfortunate outcome of melting $5,000 Canadian dollars, transforming them into an unusable state. There is a reason they call it money laundering and not money microwaving. Canadian notes are plastic, so whoever did this did not understand that plastic melts when it is heated.

What prevented them from considering the simple act of cleansing the money with soap and water beforehand? The influence of the coronavirus pandemic has been known to lead individuals into engaging in less rational behaviors.

Desperations Cost Him Much More Than His $300,000 Boat

In a desperate bid to rescue his prized $300,000 boat, this individual managed to accomplish an astonishing feat: not only did he submerge his pickup truck, but he also succeeded in sinking his Jeep in the process. He has more money than he has brains.

If you couldn’t get it out with one car, why risk the second one. His insurance agent is never going to believe him when he has to file the report for his cars and boat. Undoubtedly, he won’t be receiving any financial compensation for his claims.

Stray Bullet Shattered Brand New Solar Panels…Only In America

Amidst this situation, this individual has the opportunity to find solace in the fact that they narrowly avoided being struck by the bullet themselves. It appears that someone took the expression “suns out; guns out” a bit too literally, leading to this unexpected turn of events.

This is why people shouldn’t shoot their guns into the air. The bullet has to come down eventually, and it is going to damage something on its way down.

Due to severe damage inflicted upon the DeLorean, both Doc and Marty find themselves stranded in the past, trapped without a means of returning to their original time. The repercussions of this unfortunate event reverberate through the fabric of the space-time continuum, causing a permanent disruption that alters the course of history. Doc should have realized that the engine could overheat with 1.21 gigawatts of electricity pumping through it.

The flux capacitor got too hot because Marty and Doc were traveling to and from the future so often, so it exploded. It is going to take months for this to be fixed.

It must feel horrible to have to call your boss and say, “Hi, I have a problem. I broke the building.” His boss would probably start laughing because he thought it was a joke until he saw the damage.

However, in the face of this problem, one can’t help but wonder if there exists a way to salvage the distressed vessel. The imagination wanders, envisioning the incredible interior of a yacht in that price range, undoubtedly draped in unparalleled beauty and luxury.

Old Mine Land Is So Cheap Because It Is Unstable…

Residential homes were constructed atop an abandoned gypsum mine in South Dakota, yet the ground’s instability has rendered their property devoid of value due to the emergence of a sinkhole.

The team discovered that the mine ran under about 12 homes on the street. Due to the perilous conditions, thorough exploration of all the tunnels was deemed too hazardous. However, the discovery of a car within the tunnels suggested prior knowledge of the inherent dangers associated with constructing homes in that area, even before the community was established.

The mechanic might have been disheartened to witness his prized rag torn to shreds by the mighty force of the car engine.

However, it’s important to consider the relative costs of the cloth compared to the car engine. The actual prices can vary significantly depending on factors such as the quality of the cloth and the specific make and model of the car engine.

Porsche Vs. Tesla

According to the rule of the road, the responsibility for a collision lies with the driver who hits the car from behind. Even if the driver ahead abruptly stops without a valid reason, the one who rear-ends them is held accountable for the resulting damages and expenses.

In this case, those damages are going to be quite costly. The people thought this is how you create a new kind of electric car, but they didn’t learn that cars don’t reproduce like humans. Some things can’t happen the “natural” way.
