Nah the worst mistake is backtalking your mom when you're 8

Wait... When a 747 falls off a train it doesn't go "boeing boeing!"

That Bugatti lake swim was the perfect blackmail situation. 😂

During the Hoover free flights offer, I bought a Hoover Vacuum Cleaner for £109, got the voucher and prmpltly sold the Hoover to my next door neighbour for £90 and ended up with the flights.

The Volkswagen clean diesel scandal was a little more complicated than indicated in this video. Standardized testing such as that done by the EPA, or cities with their own smog emissions testing would all indicate that everything was fine and the emissions were well within acceptable limits. What happened was three college students conducted their own testing with the vehicles while the vehicles were actually driving on roads rather than stationary and hooked up to a testing device. For example, the cheat software built into the cars would greatly limit the emissions of the vehicle if various sensors detected that the vehicle wasn’t moving but the engine was under load- as what happens during all standardized testing. Once the sensors realized the vehicle was moving (everyday driving) it allowed the engine to produce emissions that were exponentially higher than allowed. This is why their engineering seemed so amazing at the time. They were seemingly able to get all the benefits of a diesel; great fuel economy and plenty of power, without the extremely high emissions. Despite it being proven that the upper echelon of Volkswagen’s engineering and executive personnel knew all about it, no one spent a day in prison for it.

"the structural integrity of the ship has everything to do with you" was the most hilarious and favourites part of mine

The WV diesel cheat was discovered by some collage students and did not have a standard test rig and put all the testing equipment inside the car and drove it on the street. The program reduced the power and emissions when only the drive wheels were spinning and the other wheels were stationary. So technically it was reducing emissions but only during the test.

The EPS didn't discover the VW dieselgate scandal. It was college students who discovered it by accident while real world testing mileage.

I know the captain with the oil spill deserves blame, but common we need some kind of EU law that says you can't refuse a leaking oil tanker help, just because you are afraid of the mess. The countries must have known it would become worse the longer they couldn't dock.

"When the jar of peanut butter goes crashing to the floor, then gets mooshed into the carpet by the kid that lives next door. Don't reach for the broom and dust pan or that old Electrolux. Reach for Hoover....it really sucks!" -- commercial for Hoover written by Barry Manilow 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

The story about the Boeing 737s getting scrapped because of a train derailment is jaw-dropping! 😱 It’s a stark reminder of how one oversight can lead to astronomical losses. Great video compiling these stories. It really puts into perspective the domino effect in these situations.

The Captain had a sinking feeling too

The car transporter got a first-hand ethical dilemma on their hands.

The Volkswagen crisis really got to me. Imagine just how many previous awful things they would have gotten away with to get the confidence to sell many thousandths of cars with literal evidence of fraud inside all the cars.

Sucks for that truck driver being off-roaded by spandex-wearers!

The captain had the nerve to say the conditions of his ship was non of his business😑

That Bugatti story is hilarious and im glad someone was filming! Great seeing a rich liar get caught and held accountable!

Sometimes companies end up greedy and end up losing everything

Shame on the Bugatti owner, but THREE YEARS IN PRISON??? There are s*x offenders who've gotten less! Our judicial system needs an overhaul.

If you guys make a mistake, just remember if its not as costly as these, dont beat yourself too hard

I hope the inspector gets fired because they would clearly not very good at their job

11:49 I actually worked for the Volkswagen buyback program for the Canadian customers department. It took over a year, maybe two, to fix that problem.

A tractor trailer hauling 10 motor vehicles not even having walls on the side to catch wind would be so heavy only going 35 miles an hour that nothing short of a 50 mph wind would nudge that truck in the slightest. How many bike rides have you taken in 50 mph winds? There is no way a wind gust caused that accident. Somebody's lying.

Ah yes, I rememeber my 5th grade teacher telling us about Gerald Ratner, one of those lessons to prepare us for the real world.

The $135,000,000 price tag to repair the sub is mindblowing. I mean, knowing just a little about construction, and having been a mechanic, both automotive and marine, for a couple of decades, coming up with costs to add up to that amount is insane. Figure materials, man hours and the probably most expensive thing, tech, it's still hard to bring it up to that figure! The amount of money spent on government contracts is obscene. And that figure was just to replace the nose cone portion of the sub! It shows one of the many examples of how prices have been driven up by people valuing their R & D at pretty much any dollar figure they like. (it's one of the major forces behind pharmaceutical pricing)

well let's see.... couple billion dollars, 500 heart attacks, 150 strokes, 2000 sucides and 10 lost

And now, I shall quote to the 10 supercars jack-knife incident. “It’s a hard dilemma. Would you rather injure someone with an enormous vehicle or rather allow supercars worth millions of dollars to be severely damaged and the worth becomes valueless?” - YES ESCAPE, 2024

You're estimate of 90 million per aircraft body is wayyyy off, like stupid off. 90 million is the price of BUILT plane, just the body itself is probably no where close to that

Number 6: the cargo ship crashing into the baltimore bridge 😂

I accidentally broke a grand piano at my church once. But luckily since I was a kid at the time I was not charged for it. I feel sorry for whoever had to pay for it though.

10:33 the part , when my body left my slow

There’s one word to describe all of these fails: “oops”

9:22 You have to watch the real video. It's embarrassing to drive into a lake, but even more embarrassing is the one filming saying he is "pretty sure that's a Lambo"

These guys sound like the same person but it just sounds like one just woke up. Im here for it

The Veyron was crashed in South Texas into the Gulf of Mexico tidal flats near Corpus Christie Texas.

That Hoover trip scam reminds me a little bit of rebates

Well worth the watch at 6 in the morning 🤦🏽‍♀️

ocean gate be like: *CONTROLLER DISCONNECTED, RECHARGE CONTROLLER TO TURN IT BACK ON* + *CONNECTING........ NO NETWORK DETECTED, RETURNING TO MAIN MENU....*

Gerald Ratner should go down in history as the most brilliant and honest enterprenuer that ever lived.

"I won't discriminate against anyone because of their age, but I will repeatedly mention how OLD this captain was, despite his age having absolutely no bearing on the accident OR the investigation." Bad form. It's a no from me.

I remember the Ratners incident. For years after my family would say something was Ratners 😂😂 He absolutely shot himself in the foot big time, total divvy 😂😂😂

Wow. $90 million for just a fuselage. Image how much it would cost after you add the engines, wings, avionics, electric, plumbing, galleys, seats, lighting, gear, etc. (Or perhaps the estimate is a tad high)

After hearing all these huge loss amounts, I’m happy to be a peasant and NOT a business person lol

Do you want me to point out every single mislabeled car on that graphic for the trailer? The Aston Martin you showed was not, in fact, a DB11, but merely a DB9. The two Ferraris weren't $100,000-$200,000 F430s, but two $3,000,000-$4,000,000 Ferrari Enzos, which would have made this a much more expensive accident. The Aventador you showed, while still being an Aventador, was a higher trim SV, rather than the base trim, the LP700-4. That nissan GT-R wasn't an R35 trim, but a Nismo, which is a more track focused variant. I believe that all the cars damaged were correctly named, but that animated images you showed were slightly off.

THE fun part of the hoover-miscalculation (besides violating consumer trust) is, that they also completely satiated the market, and a lot of their product was resold-as-used, causing them to compete for sales with their own past mistakes in more than 1 way.

*me thinking of my mistakes and having flashbacks* My friends: what was you’re biggest mistake? Also me: I never made mistakes😂

Who remembers the old be amazed mascot❤️

you have forgotten Mao's "Great Leap Forward"

I remember that huge oil spill. I'm in the UK and was in the last year of primary school while that was going on, the teachers used it as a subject, and we started designing gadgets that could lift oil off the top of water. Interesting lessons!

The worst thing is backing some asshole for office and then finding out he is the complete opposite of what he pretended to be.

This is so cool!!!!! I'm actually FROM Victorville California, and I'm pretty sure I've actually seen the Volkswagen graveyard!!!! I think we also had one for planes... Admittedly, I was a child that didn't care (hence my uncertainty) but now I want to look for them the next time I'm visiting family!!! ........ not like there's much else to do in Victorville 🙄

I had a close call with a mistake that would have cost tens of thousands. Was working at a body shop for flash cars. I went to disconnect an air line from the wall but the release was jammed. After a few minutes of trying to free it, I grabbed the connector with both hands and forced it back and forth. I thought the release was connected to the line… I was mistaken. As the pressurised hose released, the connector fired out like a bullet, was sent flying across the workshop and towards a Ferrari F340 that just had a respray and a panel repair. It came within an inch of its left door and hit with floor with a crack. Took a small chip of the concrete floor with it. My backside was chewing my undies on that one. 😬😬😬

11:30 the trolley problem got expensive! 😱

Be amazed makes the world go round

you know it's bad when the commentator mentions all the cars

Thank u for guiding my curiousity ive been looking for this exact type of videos ever since grade/year 5

I wonder how many lives were saved by keeping those Boeing 737’s out of the sky.

I thought it was the end of the world when I broke a candle in Bath and Body Works.

Submarine crash.... Back in 1983, my Navy frigate (smaller ASW ship) had just departed for our Med/IO Deployment. Three days out in the Atlantic, we hit a whale. Not joking! We all felt the impact, but no injuries. It split our big rubber sonar dome open, letting seawater into the transducers, which require fresh water. We had to turn around and go into drydock for a month to get it replaced. That was pretty expensive. 😮 But we got to spend the Christmas holidays in our "first foreign liberty port", Brooklyn, NY. 😅

That story of the truck jacknifing is my worst fear. I have Stagea coming to North America.😬

Warner Bros. and Discovery's merge is the most expensive mistake in history...

On the VW diesel software scandal, its funny how Mercedes, Audi and Volvo stopped selling diesels in America. They all were doing it.

Surprise Bud Light isn't on this list.

I also used to use Excite for email.

a few mistakes in the video: 1. the car used to represent the Veyron is actually a Mansory Vincero (as noted by the V at the bottom at the grille) a Mansory kit for the Veyron 2. at the flipped truck the graphic shows 2 Ferrari Enzo instead of 2 F430s

Okay but have you ever stubbed your toe, kicked the table, broke your toe, screamed in anger, shattered the windows from it, and a shard hits your eye?

10:19 I laughed when u put in the no one was hurt notice, nice one jay, this made my day 😂🎉

This is why a Conservation of Resources and Raw Materials law is needed. More proof of quality and design to save consumer dollars and reduce recycling by using interchangeable parts between brands.

Mistakes 5?? That's a ton!

THOSE CYCLIST SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT FAULT FOR BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! That poor truck driver risked his own life with all those $$$ cars to save the people on the bikes! 😢 I hope he’s ok.

Never heard of Ratners or Mr Crap, and I'm in my mid-50's living in England all my life.

Here's another tech one: Gary Kildall was the CEO of the software company Digital Research. They made operating systems for personal computers. Their big product was called CP/M, and was very successful back in the early 1980's. IBM - who was one of the world's largest computer hardware manufacturers, was about to release their soon-to-be ultra successful IBM PC. But they needed an operating system for their new PC. So IBM calls Digital Research to buy one from them. But Mr. Kildall wasn't available to take IBM's phone call, as he was flying thousands of feet above land in his private plane that he loved to fly. So his company missed out on getting a lucrative contract for the IBM PC. Instead, IBM called upon a small, new company - Microsoft. Microsoft delivered to IBM PC-DOS (later they sold it themselves as MS-DOS), and the rest is history. As of 2024, Microsoft has a market cap of over 3 *Trillion* dollars, while Digital Research was bought out later and now is defunct....

My most favourite narrator, yet again with another awesome video😊😊😊🎉🎉❤

I love this series,love your content be amazed

hoover: British people wont stand in a queue. British people: hold my tea!

Houston Crosta owns that Bugatti now and he fixed it all up!

Bicycles causing car-carrier crash.... proof positive that bicycles DO NOT belong on highways.

In all honesty, those 737 fuselages were going to fall apart all on their own once the building process was complete. The train derailment sped up that process and probably saved some lives in the process...

Yep bought cheapest Hoover product over £100, persevered with the faff of application and jumped thru all the loopholes. Had 2 Fabulous weeks in Florida.. thank you Hoover

At 13:10, the cheat software in the Volkswagen automobiles was not a device, it was software. If there was a device in the exhaust train, as shown, it would have genuinely reduced exhaust emissions to an acceptable level.

Man I love them VW diesels they run for ever if you take care of the. And if you have the 1.9 turbo diesel with a 5 speed

Aha, so that's why WhatsApp's name is so similar to "What's up?", because it actually originated from the question "What's up?".

When they were starting production on the first Star Wars movie, George Lucas negotiated with Fox studios that he would have a smaller salary in exchange for 2 things: 1. Be in charge of future instalments 2. The merchandising rights Fox studios agreed since they didnt have much faith in that movie. Needless to say, you can imagine how much money they just gave up to Lucas.

To be perfectly honest Portugal, Spain, and France are also to blame because they refused them to dock and boy did the three suffer consequences on their coastlines

The most beautiful, soothing and pleasent voice on KZfaq... I could hear you narrate the weather or even the a "To Do" list... Keep on bringing joy to our ears...

"Properly failed to secure it" 😆

19:37 This mistake would have me banging my head against a wall for the rest of my life😢

these still aren't as bad as the biggest beer company hiring the wrong influencer and destroying there brand and loosing BILLIONS

Clean air act locked hundreds of thousands of cars up to protect the environment....the energy usage and emissions from actually just BUILDING THOSE Cars would have been enormous...now NEW CARS ARE BEING MADE TO REPLACE THOSE THAT WERE SCRAPPED???....Oh Yeah!!.. Economic.

The vacuum one was wild “two tickets”? They would have still failed with one but two was savage 😂😂😂

1:50 "the inspectors failed to detect..." be careful there, they may have failed to detect, or they simply weren't given enough man power to detect because the rail company that owns those lines got cheap, or and IMO probably most likely they did detect the problems it's simply the RR company that owns the tracks failed to make repairs.

Bro please go sleep, 💀

11:44 another reason why cyclists are so disliked. Their slow pace is just an annoyance.

It has hard to imagine that the 737 fuselages were worth $90 million each. In 2014, that would be the price of a complete 737. The damaged fuselages had no engines, no wings, no cockpits, no interior finish, no plastic cups, and no lime wedges.

Behind every mistake is a smug idiot who thinks they are clever until they let get too comfortable in their overconfidence in themselves.
