5 Most Expensive Mistakes in All History

I remember Piper Alpha. 😔

The cost figures sound overinflated and exorbitant. 10 spans of expressway cost 4.6 billion? Maybe in Japanese yen buddy

Piper Alpha is probably the greatest argument for lock outs.

In industrial maintenance the best practice is; lock out tag out. To not have this in your maintenance procedures you have what occurred on the oil and gas rig.

The UK would’ve taken at least 10 years to rebuild similar to the Kobe expressway, after all the think tanks, public meetings and net zero loons giving their tuppence worth…

All of these pale into insignificance next to the election of Donald Trump.

I’m impressed that it took only a year to rebuild the Hanshin Expressway. It says a lot for the Japanese.

It increased the over all depth of the lake at its deepest point? Please explain?

2:13 that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It should be a channel ending case of only an idiot could write it.

Was Deep Water man made mistake? Exxon Valdez was?

AI mule$h1t . . . unwatchable!

The biggest man made disaster is the usage of leaded petrol in USA, where the world was cheated by capitalists into believing that leaded petrol is safe.the effects of released led has to a generation of dumb witted meuricans and 1 out of 5 meurican to be mentally disabled.

Kobe disaster was not a mistake, it was a freaking earthquake so powerful it destroyed almost the whole city !

Chernobyl explanation is incoherent and misleading.

Every week that goes by without significant changes to how we get and use energy or how we create and dispose of waste materials, will cost us more than any monetary value can express.

The construction error of the Morandi bridge in Genoa.

The careless turn the Costa Concordia took near the island of Giglio.

Bhopal. Hubble. Space shuttle. Salton Sea. 3 mile island. All those actual mistakes. Not accidents from natural disasters.

It was not a nuclear chain reaction at Chernobyl. It was a steam explosion that exposed the nuclear materials to the outside world.

Blame it on Tudeau

You can add Obama’s and Biden’s most expensive disaster destroying America with their legacy

I think Exxon-Valdez and Deepwater Horizon both belong on this list. I know you mentioned Exxon-Valdez at one point.

The thumbnail was not a “mistake”, but caused by a major earthquake that killed some 20,000 people! I had just left Japan 2 days before. Had I stayed I would have been one of them! My entire apartment pancaked onto itself. My room was on the first floor! Although I lost my belongings I was allowed to keep my life.

The train to nowhere in California should be added to the list.

Valdeeez is the pronunciation.

These are all disasters sure but "THE MOST EXPENSIVE MISTAKES IN ALL HISTORY" What are you taking. I know one thing you're not taking, is 2 Minutes to do some research. Such a ridiculous statement is defies logic.

Bhopal gas tragedy india

The 5 most expensive mistakes ever... have to be...

1 Germany invading Poland
2 Germany invading N Africa
3 Germany invading Russia.
4 Germany building fuel hungry jets and rockets when they had a fuel shortage
5 Germany building even more fuel hungry and largely inneffective V weapons.

Yes. Another man made disaster? Mr and Mrs Trump on that fateful night not using a condom. There will be economic and social costs that will echo through to future generations.

Electing Trump should be the top two most expensive mistakes. 😮😮

What a crap, AI-generated video.

At 1.57 there’s a clip of a bloke on a genuine 1980s iPhone 12.

Why metric system is not used while using distance....

I like how these incredible moments are shared calmly, letting the visuals do the talking.

Just remember, not everyone graduates from school with A’s. Some of those “professionals” had a “C” average!

It’s crazy if only them countries let that oil tanker dock, they wouldn’t have gotten completely f*cked by it sinking

IBM allowing Bill Gates to own DOS after they paid him to develop it

Gotta say I'm not surprised.

For the Piper disaster. Hand off across shifts, or even operators still lags way behind what is required, in other industries because of “Can’t happen here, different industry”, lives will pay the price.

I just woke up from a nap with a wet stain on my pillow. Man made disaster.

I was thinking of my first marriage.

The Chernobyl incident could have taken a lot fewer lives, but the Russian government refused to tell the people of Pripyat the truth. They held a street fair the very next day, not knowing that they were being irradiated!

The COVID-19 lab leak in Wuhan tops all of these mistakes

…number 3….serves those countries right for refusing to accept the ship for refuge…repairs…whatever…why so hard?

…in #5….why wasn’t a simple sign hung on the pump switch to not turn on…f’ the message…just a simple sign hung …”Do Not switch On!!”….so hard?

Chernobyl is way overdone... Nice work otherwise.
