10. A skyscraper that melts cars
The name ‘The Walkie-Talkie’ because of it
a different shape, this 34-story skyscraper
is the sixth tallest building in the City
of London and the twelfth in London.
Architect Rafael Viñoly designed the building
a very high weight form that is different
it seems to explode at the top and outside.
After spending more than £ 200 million on its construction,
was awarded the 2015 Carbuncle Cup
the newest building in the UK in the past
12 months!
Why?
The design of this building has made us behave like
a large mirror reflecting the beam of
light up to six times more than direct light
sunlight shines on the streets below
and damage to parked cars.
People are actually trying to cook eggs in a pan
on the street because temperatures have risen to
196 ° F!
9. Alaska Sales
Some of you may not even know Alaska once
it belonged to Russia and was only in 1867
that the goods change hands or should
we say countries have changed!
Alexander II of Russia was concerned only with Alaska
like snow-covered land and a quick start
The crisis has played a key role
Alaska sales to US.
The agreement was signed at $ 7.2 million which is
it might have been a good deal back then but
looking at the current situation, it is not
therefore.
Within 50 years, the US had won back 100 times
more due to the large natural resources of
place.
We clearly know who was benefiting!
8.The antique guitar is destroyed in the form of a movie
If you have seen Hateful Eight by Quentin
Tarantino, then you know about the scene there
Kurt Russell snatches the guitar from Jennifer
Jason Leigh broke it.
Yes, it was a mistake!
The guitar was a rare 150-year-old,
employed at the Martin Guitar Museum namely
another cheaper version would be installed
before firing.
So what happened?
Of course, Russell was not informed of the change again
broke the first one in the flow.
The good thing is Jennifer's reaction
the panic was real but it cost them dearly
guitar!
7.Expensive loose bridge
The most remarkable story is attached to the Millennium
Bridge in London.
It is a pedestrian suspension bridge
crossing the Thames that connects Bankside
and the City of London.
For the patient, the bridge was opened in June 2000
closed on the same day and after two days
of limited access, was almost closed
two years.
Sound funny right?
Yes, the bridge is moving unexpectedly
where pedestrians cross in droves.
The situation became worse when people reconciled
their steps, hence the name "Wobbly"
Bridge ".
Bridge costing £ 18.2 million initially,
increased by another £ 5 million to manage it
rebuild!
6.Wide carts on small platforms
This happened in 2014 when the SNCF railway
the company decided to modernize transportation
network.
What a wonderful idea but it didn't come out
very well due to measurement errors!
For 2,000 new trains ordered for € 15
billion, given estimates of
channels designed 30 years ago, too
many platforms were large and small.
You guessed it right, there was an emergency
you need to expand those platforms if they don’t
they want the trains to be damaged.
And this paid them another € 50 million,
for just a small price!
5. Loss of Mars Climate Orbiter
NASA developed the Mars Climate Orbiter to
learn about the weather on Mars.
A good step towards knowledge and discovery
but nothing went as planned.
Contact with the ship was lost at the time of the incident
in space but the most shocking thing is
reason behind it!
One NASA team used state and other units
metric used.
As a result, the data failed to transfer
in the middle of the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft
The Lokheed Martin team in Colorado and
equipment delivery team in California.
As a result, the cycle entered space
of Mars is very low and collapsed.
No one expected the human error to cost anything
orbiter!
4.Typo loses shares worth millions
2005 was a bad year for the Japanese company,
Mizuho Securities Co and we wonder who it is
blamed for it!
Well the company wanted to sell one share
of ¥ 610,000 (about $ 5,000) in Tokyo
Stock Exchange.
What could go wrong with this?
It seems that the stockbroker was not enough
I fell asleep and made a small mistake when I entered
details.
He set out to sell only 610,000 shares
Each 1 is one.
Despite the company's protest,
to process the order, called the company a
loss of 27 billion Yen or $ 225 million!
Who has the heart to carry you?
3.Vasa, a sunken ship
Vasa, built by order of the king, was to be
became a 17th-century Swedish artist
of the sea.
It would be a sign of glory, sadly
it sank shortly after leaving the port.
What a paradox!
Of course, the ark's design was not very stable
and its head was heavy but no one dared
says the impatient King
to see his ship.
The result, as you already know, was disastrous!
Isn't this a good example of “better
it's too late now ”?
2. Hard drive worth millions has been thrown in the trash
Englishman James Howell collected 7,500 bitcoins
back in 2009 when it was easy enough to do
find out.
He could easily have become a millionaire
years later when digital currency became popular
but that happened The man had kept the hard drive for years
in a drawer but while having a clear out of
his old IT equipment, it was thrown in the
bin!
You can well imagine what the man must have
gone through after realizing what he had done.
James went to the landfill site in south Wales
which was the size of a football field so
there wasn’t a lot he could do.
Man, you have our sympathy!
