People Who Made Some Very Expensive Mistakes
If you spill a box of cereal or you drop a glass on the floor and it shatters, that's a mistake, but that's not a mistake that's going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of these mistakes on this list are multi-million dollar mistakes. All of these properties, vehicles, and items looked very expensive—at least they were expensive before they got totally destroyed.
Keep reading to see some mistakes that are going to be hard to erase.
The Landslide Brought It Down
A landslide in this area caused a highway to be completely taken over by dirt and debris. Luckily, nobody was hurt. Well, the road looks kind of hurt. How do you even begin to fix this?
Of All The Cars On The Road...
Of all the cars on the road, this deer decided to jump in front of this very expensive pale blue sports car. This crash looks awful. Poor deer. Also, poor car.
This Is Chaos
This person accidentally released the emergency exit inflatable slide inside of this airplane. The timestamp on this photo says this happened back in 2003. Were people more chaotic back then?
Two Casualties
This car accidentally parked on top of a hidden garage. When the garage came up, the top car got crushed against the top of the house, and the bottom car got completely flooded.
Now What?
This digger was trying to excavate some sand at the beach, but the sand was too heavy and waterlogged, and the pressure of the water underneath it pulled down the entire vehicle.
Two Cars, One Boat
This boat got stranded in the middle of the lake, so a truck and then a Jeep decided to try and save it. That didn't work out very well for either of them.
A Very Expensive Satelite
You might have messed up at work a time or two, but we bet you never had to tell your boss, "Sorry, I may have just dropped a 290 million dollar Noaa-N Prime satellite on the floor."
A Cat On Your Car
This Cat truck fell off of its trailer right onto a car that was parked next to it. It kind of looks like they're spooning or something. This is a very expensive car cuddle.
Two Ships Crashing In The Day
These two cruise ships collided with each other. Why did they ever have to get that close? Is the ocean not big enough for the two of them? It looks like they had a lot of space.
Goodbye Wine
It is a particularly sad image for all of you wine lovers out there. This man thought his wine cellar was a safe place for all of these bottles. Apparently, it wasn't.
The Back Just Snapped
This is why you always make sure a car is fully supported before you lift it. Luckily, nobody was standing under this truck when it snapped. Hopefully, this shop has good insurance.
This Is Why You Don't Race
This is why you shouldn't race cars on the road at all, and why these people can't have nice things. Imagine having this much money and being this reckless with your car.
A Bad Day
It wasn't a good day for these homeowners when a tree fell on and crushed their roof. They lost a tree and a lot of money that day. This hurts to look at.
The Internet's Going To Be Out For A While
These people started drilling without realizing that there were a bunch of wires under the ground. Now their drill is all tangled up and a lot of people are going to be without internet for a while.
Still Smiling
Have these girls not realized that their ship is sinking, or have they just resigned themselves to the fact that there's nothing they can do about it so they may as well pose for a photo?
Don't Leave Your Dog Alone With Your Porsche
This man's dog was misbehaving, so he put him in the garage for a while. Do you know what else was in the garage? His Porsche. Never leave an angry dog alone with a Porsche.
A Half-Dipped Car
This cement mixer poured cement all over the car behind it. Now, these two guys are just staring at the situation trying to figure out what the heck to do next.
Laundered Money
This person tried to "disinfect" five thousand Canadian dollars by putting a bunch of fifty dollar bills in the microwave. It didn't end well. Hey, at least the money is clean.
Right Down The Middle
This crane fell into a very expensive house and split it right down the middle. This is going to be a very expensive mistake to fix. We hope they have house insurance.
This Was A Plane
A technician "accidentally" fired a Vulcan cannon and absolutely obliterated this F16 that was just sitting on the runway. It was a really bad day to be a fighter plane.
Smashing Bottles
This isn't just any bottle. This is a very expensive $16,000 bottle of Victory In Europe, 1945 Château Mouton Rothschild. The person who shattered this has a lot of explaining to do.
A Very Stuck Limo
This pink limo tried to drive through a narrow and steep road and ended up getting very stuck. This is the problem with long cars that are low to the ground. You can't take them anywhere.
Double Trouble
These twin cars got into an accident at this intersection. Somehow, they drove straight into each other. You would think people with cars this nice would be a bit more careful with them.
A Bad Day At The Beach
This is why you shouldn't park on the sand at all, and if you must, you definitely shouldn't park so close to the water. When the tides come in, your car is going to end up like this one.
Totally Crushed
This little car didn't stand a chance against this dump truck. Luckily, nobody got hurt except this car's insurance premiums. This car did nothing wrong, and it still got completely crushed.
Hail Vs. Solar Panels
These solar panels got completely destroyed by golf ball sized hail that came raining down from the sky. Sometimes, you can't protect technology from Mother Nature. These panels are toast.
You Don't Say?
Oh, what's that, car? You have a flat tire? Well, let's just go outside and—oh my goodness. This is more than "low inflate." That tire is gone. Time to call a tow truck.
Big Bonk Energy
This tree showed no mercy when it came crashing down on this car that was sitting on the road in the middle of a rainstorm. Is this car even fixable?
Up The Ramp
This is what happens when you park a car that's shaped like a wedge super close to a school bus. That school bus has a job to do. The driver of the car should have known better.
In The Clouds
It may look like this plane is flying in the clouds, but it's actually sitting in a whole bunch of fire suppression foam that was accidentally released in this hangar.
Good Luck Explaining That To Apple

How many miles did he drive or packages did he lose before he realized that he hadn't latched the back door closed properly at the last drop off location? Time to retrace your steps.
A Different Kind Of Green Monster
Normally, if someone meets the green monster they'd be feeling jealous of someone or something, but we're definitely not feeling jealous of this formerly-white dog that went to roll in the grass after it was just mowed.
That's Going To Cost You
This is either going to end with an expensive trip to the hospital or an expensive bill from the city when they ask you to replace the equipment they had to take apart in order to remove you from it.

Well That Backfired
This person decided to buy a used textbook instead of a brand new one from the school bookstore to save a few dollars but made the mistake of not checking the inside. Now they've lost that money and they have to buy a new one anyways,
Is This Covered By Renter's Insurance?
When driving any sort of large vehicle, let alone a rental vehicle, you should always proceed with caution. If you're not positive that the truck is going to fit under, don't risk it.
What Did Brenda Have To Say About This?
Getting this much ink on your body at once would've cost you a pretty penny (or two), but getting it removed is going to cost you even more. Who knows how much it cost you in your relationship with Brenda too.
Time To Order Takeout
All they wanted was for someone to take a picture of the great fried rice meal they were making, but they put everyone's dinner at risk to do it. Now the only thing they're full of is regrets.
