Mistakes and accidents are unavoidable. They're part of our lives. But don't worry, this isn't an insurance ad. It's a piece on the subreddit ‘That Looked Expensive.’
It's an online community, where people share photos, gifs, and videos of mistakes, accidents, catastrophes, and disasters that cost a small fortune.
We're talking a supercar storage catching fire, children knocking over a $70K sculpture, and many more hilarious, er, I mean, costly mishaps. Continue scrolling to check them out and take a look at Bored Panda's earlier article on the subreddit after you're done, too!

Supercar Storage In Cheshire Burned Down...
Nooooooooo. Is that a jaguar XKE in there? Oh I can’t bear it!! Heartbreaking
Haha - that's what the ambulance guys said to me when I was hit head-on by a lorry!
Load More Replies...It was a storage facility for different owners so I doubt it
Load More Replies...Heartbreaking for the classics, but I can't feel sorry for someone who buys a really expensive car and then sticks in in storage and pampers it like a baby. Even the nicest car ever was built to be driven!
In most of Canada there is a good portion of the year that I would not take any car like that out for a drive. Road salt destroys them.
Load More Replies...Oh, the humanity! Honestly, damn shame. Some of these cars were truly beautiful works of art.
I've heard many times they do it on purpose because the cars dont sell so that they "fold" the business using the insurance money
HA HA, When the idiot burned all of these classic supercars, it just made my two. worth more
As sad as hearing about the Ardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit) fire in 2005. gettyimage...3a9a96.jpg
That's one hell of an inferno to inflict damage like this. I've only seen this kind of obliteration in our home grown Aussie bushfires. There had to be a lot of fuel in those tanks for the place to burn this way. Astonishing.
NOOO!!!! NOT THE LAFERRARI! I REALLY HOPE THERE WASN'T A FERRARI F40 OR A PORSCHE 959/911 WAS THERE!
I wonder if people are more upset about material goods going up in flames than the Amazon burning :(
Reminds me of the looted and burning of luxury car dealerships that took place last year in the US.
I am crying over that jag. My old riding school in the UK had been sold to a car dude. Turned a gorgeous HUGE indoor arena into a car storage. Any horse people will know what a tragedy that is.
I still mourn the loss of a 1968 Mustang GT500 KR Convertible in a residential garage fire in 1988. And it wasn't even mine. It was the neighbor across the street.
All that money for the cars but no ultra fancy fire prevention system?
Folks who baby and pamper their cars have severe mental problems. Folks be freaking out about some dirt on their car, do they realize the road and streets are a pretty dirty place? Why own a vehicle you dont drive on the road? Oh, it's just for my mental status 😆
OMG..... I don't know who to feel worse for, the individual owners of these priceless cars that just lost their dreams come true, or the owner of the storage facility that stores the priceless cars. I hope he/she had amazing insurance.

Babylon, N.Y. (AP) -- A military transport plane with seven men aboard crash-landed on a busy highway Wednesday night, smashing into three cars during a wild skid and fatally injuring a motorist. The twin-engine C123 ran out of gas and swooped down on the four-lane Southern State Parkway on Long Island. Skidding hundreds of feet, it ripped through an underpass and struck three cars before stopping in flames.

The lesson to take away here; if you buy a McLaren, take a course on how to handle it correctly...
The lesson is that you don't buy a McLaren because even when you know ow to handle it, someone else will crash into it. Or when you store it safe the whole place will burn down. So you see the McLaren, you don't buy and just walk away and buy yourself a bloody Kia for 1% of the price of a McLaren
Load More Replies...There's definitely a discrepancy in the torque to skill ratio.
Load More Replies...I agree! It's absolutely tragic and is going to cause decades of ecological damage. Truly heartbreaking.
Load More Replies...Wind Turbine on fire. About $2 million up in smoke.... ATT123111-...0acf72.jpg
Events like this are the reason all languages have profanity. Sometimes you are totally justified in cussing a blue streak!
What I've learned is never buy a McLaren and having a fancy car basically means it's going to start on fire or get me into an accident. I'll stick with my Honda, thank you very much!

#7...those straight-line Iowa winds. tore the roof off a building I worked in and didn't have to work for a week because of it. best part was that I got paid. the early 00's were great for that kind of thing with a very large company. that was also the straight-line winds that sent a silo roof flying a mile and landed on a car. it wasn't totaled though just took off the back bumper. it was an almost perfect landing.
I'm sorry for mother nature and sorry for the people who lost loved ones. This was so depressing to see but like a car accident I couldn't stop watching. I'm embarrassed about myself.

The type of person that has the money and would want a McLaren/Lambo/Ferrari is also the type of person to drive it like an asshole and not care about the cost of destroying it.
None of this even comes close to the most expensive accident in history, the Chernobyl reactor meltdown. Nor the most expensive conflict in history, World War II. Though these are at least possible to laugh about, as opposed to being wide-scale tragedies highlighting the failure of humanity as a species...
World Wars aren't small failures with relatively big impacts. Their dynamics are immense and hardly start at one specific point in time. They are huge mistakes with huge impacts. Chernobyl was enormous and also not just one person making one mistake. There were structural problems in understanding what the huck they were doing. This list is mostly about stupid small mistakes that end up with a big price tag.
