People Are Posting Really Expensive Fails And Accidents, Here Are 30 That Hurt To Watch
The concept of expensive can’t be really considered as such without context. Those who are better off have a completely different understanding of what is expensive than what a person living from paycheck to paycheck would think.
But there is a sense of universalism there too. A fine zone that encompasses things that we all understand as expensive, but only if we also see how much damage has been done to said expense.

It's hard to understand how a truck could damage a bridge to this extent. It sounds like its just as well it needs to be replaced.

The Museum Ship Uss Sullivans Has Partially Sunk At The Military Park Pier On Buffalo's (NY, USA) Waterfront
Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) 2 years ago
Sullivans was named for five brothers who served on the same ship in WWII. That ship was destroyed with all hands meaning five brothers all died together. It's why Ryan needed to be saved in Saving Private Ryan. Last surviving child.

Back In ‘07, Some Guys Ran The Engines On A Brand-New (Not Even Delivered) Airbus A340 At Full Power Without Wheel Chocks. The Brakes Didn’t Hold It. More Than $100 Million, Written Off. One Of The Engines Kept Running For 9 Hours Afterwards, Until The Fuel Ran Out

Not sure about this one. Looks like a deliberate disconnection of the rear of the car to enable work to be carried out. Everything looks straight and if the rear portion had fallen from the lift, there surely would be something bent.

If they can get the engine running then it can probably get itself out. Trackos are amazingly robust. Only machine i've ever seen dig itself OUT of a hole like that.

Medium story short, a guy bought a used vehicle for $36K from another rep, and signed a notarized document stating he had comp and collision (state law allows it to cover a newly purchased vehicle for 30 days). He didn't. And totalled it on the way home. And even his lawyer agreed he was on the hook for the $36K.
