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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    The Lahaina Fire Destroyed 3 Of My Family’s Homes And 3 Vehicles

    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.

    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.

    I've never understood someone doing something like this: if cheating bothers you, then you're probably going to feel guilty for doing this, and a cheater isn't worth any more of your time or energy. The cheater will never feel guilty, and damaging their property might actually help them to justify the cheating (in their mind).

    That was loaded by amateurs. No ballast to keep load evenly spaced. Clearly something very heavy as it was only about 1/4 full container.

    Even so, that should not happen, unless that was both A) extremely heavy stuff, and/or B) some rusted trusses. I mean the things are SUPPOSED to have load in them and be grabbed at the far ends!

    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.

    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.

    2 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    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.

    Their sign is wrong. If you honestly earned your money, it’s fair. But most billionaires/millionaires have been handed jobs , cut essentials to pay themselves in bonuses, make CEO money and perks to constantly generate wealth for themselves. But if someone’s willing to pay you that amount of money, you’re going to say no? If you choose to use it for good then awesome but it’s not a requirement if you work hard and make bank to use it on others.

    The car is a hypercar prototype. It was being driven in September 2023 by its designer and builder Giorgio Pirolo during a hill-climbing race, where the supercar was serving as a pace car. During a run to check the track before the first participant, they lost control due to a steer malfunction, and crashed into the guardrail without injuries.

    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.

    No. All the other organizations who launch rockets on the regular (NASA, ESA, etc.) use various means of keeping the rockets from damaging the pads like flame trenches and water suppression. Even NASA's Saturn V, which until Starship was the most powerful rocket ever launched, did hardly any damaged to the pads. In other words, SpaceX didn't figure out something that NASA figured out back in the 60s.

It got so bad the police used a helicopter to tag speeders and they turned the bikes and cars into little cubes as a deterrence. Stopped the endless deaths and serious injuries.

    Looks like OP physically caught something on there. Like they were putting it in place and caught that spot on the case, or were installing a cooler gouged that spot.

    From the placement, it appears that mr tinydick was cutting in lane without looking.

    Got a little too close when asking if they had any Grey Poupon? But of course!

    Most of the vehicles they sent over were mothballed anyways. How do you estimate the price of something made decades ago and unlikely to be used by the US Army ever again?

    Exactly my thought, most of what we're sending to the UAF was going to be dismantled for spare parts or used as target practice. We're also seeing that even "old" NATO weapons given to people who never used them before is enough to put up a fight against the Russian armed forces.

    Accounting at the US DOD is appalling. It wouldn't surprise me if some people there were skimming a few billion dollars off the top.

    No brand new car is an investment. A handful of rare classic cars are investments. Both of these will only go down in value over time, especially the Rolls Royce.

    That looks easily righted, but who knows what kind of damage it sustained.

    The real questions is, Was the ROPS installed at the time of the accident? If it wasn't, the damage could be significant.

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

    It looks like the tracks are from the crane thing and they have dug into the blacktop. I had to magnify the picture and am still not positive but I think that is it.
