I think it's safe to conclude - never EVER transport something you care about in a container.

Plenty of goodies on www.oopslist.com as well :)

How does one explain to one's boss that you put a 747 into a drainage ditch? I mean, how the heck does a conversation like that even start? :rofl:

[Oakie]

how the heck does a conversation like that even start? :rofl:

"Hey boss, I think we need better suspension in the 747s."
"Hey boss, I think we need better hand-brakes in those 747s"
"Hey boss, I had to ditch the 747 today"
"Hey boss, any jobs going in the catering section?"

The article says:
These are pictures of the wreck of a brand new A340-600, in November 2007 that had never flown. Brand spanking new right out of the hanger, without a single hour of air time. Enter the Arab flight crew. Thank the French and their Arab friends for this bit of comedy of errors. Nine employees of the Arab airline were in the aircraft, but not one employee from French Airbus was present. The Arabs taxied out to the run-up area. Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with virtualy an empty aircraft. This was their first mistake as they obviously didnt read the run-up manuals. They had no clue just how light an empty air bus really is. No chocks were set, not that it would have mattered at that power setting. The brakes will not hold it back at full power anyway. As it turns out, the takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had all 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to takeoff but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc, etc). Then one of these brain surgeons decided to pull the Ground Sense circuit breaker to silence the alarms. This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air.

That was their last mistake. As soon as they did that, the computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The poor bastards had no idea that this is a Safety feature so that pilots cant land with the brakes on. There was no time to stop and no one smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting. So the rest is as you see it.

Oops!!!

[Pedrostt500]

But thats how they land them right?.

The runway was impossibly short..........

and yes it was indeed extremely wide......

[Mikkel]

FAIL!

Hehe, probably someone who forgot to think about the fact that a car filled with water is slightly heavier than a car not filled with water. Either that or someone who didn't have the patience to let it drain slowly...

That second picture is pure gold :niceone: It should be made into a motivational poster with the caption: Innovation.

If you look you can see the door on the car is open and not much water is coming out, I guess it was just a plain old misjudgement on the crane-operators part by stretching the boom a tad much.

True... Looking at the pictures it's a bit hard to visualise exactly how the truck started rolling though. The support leg (dunno what the english term is) is extended on the right-hand side and I suppose it would have had to pivot around that in order for the cabin to clear the edge of the quay. Would also be kinda the only explanation for how the white bracing remained standing. I guess the fluid that is expelled from the truck must be diesel from a burst fuel tank.

Top marks for execution I must say. :) Spectacular fail indeed.
