15 MOST EXPENSIVE Fails in History

What about the Bud Light marketing scheme?If you owned stock in the parent company you`d be pulling out someone`s hair.

[@garyfasso6223]

What is your ranking system? Messing up a painting ranks higher than losing billions? And as Charles Harper points out, what's with the container ship clickbait?

[@pauldavis9387]

The Summer Olympics should be held in Greece every time. They already build the venue once and can now just do a few upgrades every 4 years. Yes I am a traditionalist so I love the idea.

New Coke wasn't so much a scheme to boost sales as it was to stop production so they could switch the formula over from sugar to high fructose corn syrup without people really noticing. Sugar was (and still is) much more expensive than HFCS which is why they wanted to switch. They couldn't do it immediately or else people would have been flooding them with complaints about the taste being off, so they concocted New Coke to allow some time for people to mostly not know straight away that something was off. If you have an international section in your grocery store, look there for imported Coke from Mexico in glass bottles. It is still made with sugar there and you can *absolutely* taste the difference between the two if you taste them side by side. The usage of HFCS in soft drinks has been directly linked to the obesity epidemic in the US so it's poisoning people while helping Coca Cola keep costs down. Vile.

[@johnkean6852]

I love Coke Zero

[@jamesmiller7211]

It always amazes me when I have a coke overseas made with cane sugar, it tastes much better.

[@shermanali2632]

I didn’t know about all that stuff,but I do know about the sugar and corn syrup taste!👍✌️

[@MichaelLaferriere]

As a resident of Massachusetts and former worker in the great city of Boston I and likely many other in this area are extremely glad the Olympics will be somewhere else in 2024. Instead of spending all this money renovating a different city every time the olympics are held, why not just pick one city and stick with it? The money saved could be better used elsewhere.

[@Ivan-pl2it]

40 plus grams of sugar per bottle. What could possibly go wrong.

[@dianesodher7962]

New coke craptasticness was due to moving from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup for the sweeter

That train debacle in France reminds me of the IC4 and AnsaldoBreda debacle in Denmark... its quite a story.. from how one of the train sets ended up with Danish markings and turning up in the possesion of Gaddafi in Libya, to the danish rail carrier that was suppose to recieve them looking at the state of completion (which was nowhere near to the specification promised), vowing to try and fix the mistakes (and barely making them drivable) to the fact that they got slated to be phased out 10-20 years earlier than planned because of said mistakes.

Errata - JPL is NOT owned by NASA. JPL is a Federally-Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) owned and operated by Caltech and contracted with NASA, which provided the vast majority of JPL’s funding.

*Thank you, I am amazed watching these wonderful moments*

[@dmrr7739]

Nope, exactly wrong. It’s not owned by Caltech. It’s a federal facility administered by Caltech for NASA. NASA got it from the Army. Whether it’s considered “owned” by NASA is immaterial, it’s ultimately owned by the US government.

[@kevinmiller7792]

Actually, all JPL employees are Caltech badged. NASA has a contract with Caltech, and each activity that JPL carries out for NASA is done thru a task on that contract.

I remember when two years ago in year 2021 a really BIG Evergiven cargoship was stuck on a Suez canal in an Egypt, that is one of most EXPENSIVE fail in a history. The difficult problems of the blocked cargoship reached all the way to here Finland. That fail was in a two years ago but I still remember it like yesterday. 🌎🌍🌏🏞🏝🏜🌅🏔🚢⛰️

[@bonniebrock5109]

Notice the US military ship named 'Detroit'. That itself was a curse for it to fail just like Detroit, Michigan, USA failed as a large city in the last 20 years.

$20,000,000 + $4,000,000 for Boston paying people to shuffle paper. That’s nothing compared to parking a Jaguar Discover Sport in Luton Airport. Just wait till the car is on fire, then drive in and leave it in flames while you board a plane. Cost about £83,000 for the Jag + £20,000,000 for the new car park + £115,000,000 for the loss if other vehicles + £621,500 lost for each day the airport was closed due to the fire.

What's missing for me, is the loss of the Costa Concordia in 2012, where a ship captain wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend and sunk his cruise ship with over 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew members on board. A loss of about $ 600,000,000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster

32 people died including some staff members. The captain was found guilty & imprisoned for years.

[@ffets-SEP]

@@deborahklinlger8565 Yep, sorry, I should have mentioned that. Also interresting is the guy of the coast guard, yelling at the captain to go back on board to organize the evacuation, cause the captain was one of the first leaving the sinking vessel, not the last one as usual.

[@thriftyoutdoorsman7860]

@@seivaDsugnA You troll. The Concordia incident is defininitely a top choice. The damages, not including the loss of life, far exceed some of those on the list we see here. I hope you were drunk when you posted that troll comment, with nothing potential positive to gain from saying such remark. I defend Stefan's comment suggesting Concordia (on hopefully the next episode).

[@scottstabbert8498]

Ok....unless he reuploaded the video w an edit, the way the canal was discussed is correct and your comment isn't necessary. He said it connects the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, that's both correct and does not imply he thought the Suez was in South America

Wrong. Suez is in Egypt which is in Africa. Panama is in Panama which is in Central America.

The KZbin thumbnail is totally misleading - it bears no relationship to the video whatsoever. Sadly this is a common problem which KZbin don't seem to care about correcting. It is misrepresentation.
