“That Looked Expensive”: People Share 35 Fails And Accidents That Cost A Small Fortune (New Pics)
That crunch when backing up a car, or the crash of a bowl slipping off the table, there are certain sounds that just make us inwardly groan. From cleanup to embarrassment or material cost, disasters and accidents are never fun. But once it’s our wallet removed from the equation, we do have an interesting fascination with seeing things break.
The “That Looked Expensive” internet group is dedicated to documenting accidents, fails, and disasters that might make you shudder a little bit. So get comfortable, bless your lucky stars that your stuff isn’t on this list, and upvote your favorite examples.

Porsche Driver Attempted To Pass Tram, Gets Stuck Between Two Trains
May we take this golden opportunity to use the word schadenfreude?
Load More Replies...But he's also knocked the tram off the rails, so a very very expensive 'mistake'.
Deserves this all the way. Hope it took forever to get him out and the repairs cost him an arm and a leg. Karma baby, karma.

Jerks Ruined The Water Supply For Their Town
This 'revealed' more about the parents than the baby (they are jerks and idiots)
Update: family member did this stunt and broke their law and was fined like $20,000.
That's a light fine for contaminating an entire town's water supply but at least it's something
Load More Replies...Can we please just stop with these "parties"??? So ridiculously asinine and cringe
Right? Who gives a poop? Whatever happened to the "Oh, congrats, it's a boy/girl!" I mean, that used to be part of the wonder of having a child.
Load More Replies...A little context since I see it coming up in a few comments. The guy responsible was fined about $2,000; it was 10,000 Brazilian Reals. He used a chemical called Blue Lake that's used to help dye large bodies of water like ponds and swimming pools. It's not harmful to living creatures in the right quantities and testing revealed no adverse or lasting effects in this case. The waterfall was only one source of water for the river, which itself is the water supply for the town, but as said they were in a drought in the first place.
He still potentially contaminated a source of water supply, which is against the law and should have been fined way higher. Stupid kids who throw soap into fountains get charged for a felony, so this kind of thing should be handled like that too.
Load More Replies...Selfishness, I hope they get a fine and just not a slap on the wrist
This is when we as a society need to step in and eliminate the stupids. Imagine what the kids are going to be like with these imbecile parents ? I hope they are forced to pay for the clean up and told they’re banned from breeding.
The Driver Of This Aston Martin Db5 Was Shaken But Not Stirred
Happened on the M56 in Manchester, in 2015. The car is a 1965 DB5 worth about £1M. The Aston Martin crashed into a Vauxhall Astra at a semaphore crossing and came to stop on a light pole. The driver and his 4 years old son had minor injuries. Responsibility for the crash could not be assessed.
Am trying to place the junction, but it cannot be the M56, as there are no pedestrian crossings on UK motorways. It could be the A5103, Princess Park Way, which is at the end of the M56, but I don't recognise the Premier Inn. Wherever it is, it is expensive!!!
Load More Replies...Actually in the UK the steering wheel is usually on that side...
Load More Replies...Just to get the big picture stuff out of the way, the biggest “that looked expansive” man-made disaster in human history was the Chornobyl disaster in 1986. While it can be hard to work out exact figures, as there are a number of disagreements on how to measure externalities and Soviet bookkeeping was often fanciful, some estimates suggest damages around $700 billion.
It’s also a disaster of such magnitude that there are consistent, ongoing costs to keeping the damage in check, from maintaining the exclusion zone to maintenance on the protective constructions near the reactor itself. Fortunately, this sort of disaster is unlikely to repeat itself in this day and age.
Road Workers In Łódź Decided To Teach Someone A Lesson
i heard the car owner has had a history of "playing" with their car in a similar way
How long must have they been parked there to have all this done?? I have to think toeing the car would be a less expensive lesson for the city to fix.
It was all the rage in Polish memes for a few weeks in November, it was even a mini tourist attraction :D The guy was hard to find, he drove the car in the middle of the night. Probably it would have been less expensive for the city to tow it rather than fix it afterwards, but a few underpaid workers are not going to think too much about city savings ;)
Load More Replies...That car had to have been there for a while for all of that work to get done and no one came to claim it
So much work and efforts needed to build that barrier around the car. They should have just towed it

Kaiser Hospital Mri Accident
"February 2023: Kaiser Hospital (California Bay Area) MRI machine was turned on with a metal gurney, patient and nurse in the room. Nurse injured, patient unharmed and gurney totaled. MRI machines use strong magnets and no metal should have been near the machine."
Thank gods it was only an injury. This could have easily been fatal.
Load More Replies...Fun fact: MRI machines use super cooled helium to run. When an event like this happens, there is an emergency shut off that dumps the helium outside (quench vent) to stop the machine. It takes $60,000+ worth of helium and a f*#& ton of days to get it back up and running. Not to mention damage to the machine itself. And you know helium is a finite element, so this is not a good situation.
Given that helium is put inside partly balloons, I don't think the amount inside an MRI is going to wreck the environment. The real cost is in liquefying the helium, which is really really difficult. PS. I checked. $60,000+ plus is the correct cost for the amount of liquid helium used by an MRI.
Load More Replies...There was a fatal accident in the late 90s in NYC. Patient in the thing, turned on, unsecured fire extinguisher in the room.
Not a big deal. Kaiser can (and will) just raise their insurance rates and lower the quality of care to handle this cost.
like they needed the excuse to do that ;)
Load More Replies...Once, my son forgot to take off his medical alert bracelet. He said he thought the machine was going to end up ripping off his hand before he got the operator to shut it down.
I had an MRI scan a few years ago and asked one of the staff if it really was so powerful, and in answer she clipped a keychain, about a foot long, to her belt and took me into the scanner room. The chain instantly went horizontal and you could feel the magnet pulling against you when trying to pull the keys towards you. Even from ten feet (3m-ish) it was remarkably strong.
Load More Replies...this is why MRI's are terrifying. I mean, I've had one and it was fine BUT STILL THE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING IS HORRIFYING
The next on the list, dwarfed by a number of earthquakes and hurricanes, is the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is still considered to be the largest marine oil spill in the history of the industry, dumping 780,000 cubic meters of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Like most ecological disasters, it can be hard to measure the damage in the short term, but some estimates put it at $60 to $100 billion dollars.

In my home town, there were 3 underground tunnels at one entrance of the town that allowed cars to avoid truck traffic and red lights.

Sir...you Cannot Park Here!!
22 July 2023, on I-76 North in Dalton-Whitfield County, Georgia, USA. The $380.000 Lamborghini Aventador was driven by 36 years old Spencer Hyde. While speeding at 160 km/h, he lost control and crashed into the trailer. The car driving erratically had been reported to the Georgia State Patrol who was looking for it, and arrived promptly on the crash site. The driver had light injuries, despite the look the survival cell on the driver side was not deformed, as evident by the door still working properly...
Is this to make me admire the man or the car for doing such a stupid thing? This is not survival of the fittest . . . it's continuing the stupid . . .

A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300 After Flying Through A Hailstorm Over Milan, Italy
It happened on 24 July 2023. A huge multi-day storm hit the whole region from the 18 to the 25th July, causing massive damage to cars, buildings and trees. Several thousands of trees were uprooted or severely damaged, prompting the closure of all major parks for several week to bring them back to acceptable safety levels. Hail as big as 10 centimeter in diameter was reported, as well as about 30.000 lighting strikes.
The damage you see here is quite minor, they just lost the radome (that is basically just an aerodynamic cover for the radar equipment): it's still enough to warrant an emergency landing, or at least a pan-pan, but not life threatening. . The major issue was hail-strike to the engines, that could have caused turbine separation with exertion of the affected blades. They also had wing damage, raising concerns over the functioning of the flap and slat system required for landing.
Load More Replies...put some cream on it, wait a couple of days without touching, like new. works for my nose after a big cold
This is military precision hail ! It only wanted to take out the radar. Weird 🤔

I’m born and raised in Lahaina. My dad was at work with his vehicle. My stepmom flew out that morning leaving hers. I was out on a hike and rode with friends. In 2 hours my hometown was reduced to ashes. These photos were taken the morning after the fire, hiking 3 miles into town.
That's in Hawaii, if anyone is wondering. This one is probably one of the saddest on the list. Wildfires are so devastating and terrifying. Had one very close to my home (in Canada) this past summer and, while our home was fortunately unaffected, it was still terrifying not knowing if we would have a home to come back to

Losing your home in a fire is a multi-layered tragedy. First comes the shock of knowing that your home is just...gone. Next comes the realization that everything you owned is also gone, along with every bit of clothing, personal care items, jewelry, food, sentimental objects - all gone. As the months and years pass, you find yourself looking for that thing you loved or enjoyed, and remember that's it's gone. It's truly a trauma that takes a long time to reconcile.

You'd be correct, yes. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure this was one of several "maintenance" issues that had that bridge shut down for over a year. For those who don't know, all those pretty shots in movies of the Space Needle in the background with water surrounding the city? Those are actually taken from a beach in a totally separate city called "West Seattle" and the bridge closure was a real pita for the residents who basically had to either drive to the next city South of them or go through downtown Seattle to get to the outside world.

Billionaire Walmart Heiress Nancy Walton's Yacht
Do they really think it causes more than a minor inconvenience to them? Jeff Bezos wanted to have a whole bridge disassembled so his brand new mega yacht could leave the shipyard.
Bezos offered to pay for disassembly and the due periodic maintenance of the historical bridge to allow his yacht to be sailed out of the shipyard. Local opposition started a fuss for a bunch of different reasons, some on anticapitalist concerns, some just attempting to strongarm Bezos into paying more. Ultimately, Bezos had the yacht towed out and the main masts attached at a different shipyard, costing the local communities both jobs, a free bridge maintenance and some good money.

To add to Jaguarundi's comment about the well part... when a well is dug, the digging process means the water at the bottom is incredibly silty/muddy/unclean for awhile. So the slurry is pumped out to the lawn or someplace natural, the well is allowed to refill naturally, and repeat the process a few times to get most of the gunk out. Then the pipe goes down and a few layers of filter material (like gravel & sand) are packed around around it to help eliminate catch that kind of stuff before it gets to the pipe. Then they'll allow it to fill again and they'll flush it a few more times & let it rest again. What's odd here is that the well shouldn't have been connected to the house pipes until it had been fully purged.

ok? tires leave marks. They will go away. There is nothing wrong with this picture.
