i used to work driving trams and i derailed the tram, ass end came off the tracks as i was entering into the shed at work and didnt know the ass end was off the tracks (as i was going like 6km/h) till the ass end really kicked out and hit the shed wall (Bricks) and hit air compressor line for the tram mechanics in the shed and cleaned up the fire hose reel, and the fence. lol total damage cost was bout $60000 to get tram repaired and painted, new shed wall, air compressor line fire hose reel, new fence and new bitumen and tracks lol ( and yes i still had my job afterwards as the investigated it and found out it was due to the tracks being in poor condition)phew!!! lol

second day working as an aircon installer, i was under a roof at a residential house, my foot slipped and half my body fell through the ceiling... people inside the living room screamed... only cost like 300$ to fix...but f**k it was embarrassing

[~R33AzzA~]

I used to work on the production line at a ford supplier a few years back, I was driving the fork lift with 56 territory drive shafts in a stillage, I went round a corner a bit fast and the stillage tipped over and smashed into a wall, just as this happend the plant manager was walking up the walk way showing one of the ford senior managers around.

All 56 shafts were damaged and the plant manager and ford bloke saw it all, you should have seen their faces.

Total cost was like 60k, the stillage was deemed to be designed wrong as there was nothing preventing it from coming off the forks. Still kept my job and wet on to be good friends with the plant manager LoL.

I have simply made a typo before when connecting someones electricity. So instead of putting it in for 05/05/2008 for example, i entered it as 05/05/2080.

Needless to say the customer didnt get connected and spent a weekend without power. He lodged a claim form with the company for losses incurred due to no power. EG: Claim for costs of hiring a hotel for his family, having to buy meals, and spoiled food. Would have cost the company a little bit

I've put a Pick axe through a Gas pipeline in the CBD when i was an apprentice.

I got told the callout would be....

4 fire trucks (minimum) @ $1400 each, i think they carry about 4-6 firefighters,

$50 per 15 mins per firefighter.

The firefighters close off about 3-4 city blocks and evacuate everyone...

at least that's what would have happened, and the gas been turned on..... Phew

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

been driving Volvo a25d articulated haulers for about 2years and on one day .... my luck FRIDAY! at about 3.30 1hour before knock off!

fully loaded heading up a hill started at the base ramp at about 25kph in 4th (not fast but for these things its comfy) as i reached near the top i was in 2nd gear, and as always they swtich depending on rev range like any auto ... down to 1st ... then revs up ...then into 2nd ... back to 1st...

gets bloody annoying so like an auto trans i pushed it into 1st manual ... next things i know .. the computer deciding to put it in Nutural even tho the stick is in 1st...

the force of the truck stopping like that (with out breaks in use) nearly head butted the dash ..

a second later the weight from being fully loaded took over ... and back i go .. at about 10ks towards a edge of a whole which was around 6stories deep,

first reaction as anyone would do hit the breaks ....bad move ... WEIGHT SHIFT!

lifted the cab up, and the way these things are built , are built to safty.. if the body goes over the cabing stays upright, but this worked the other way.

up goes the cab and it twists and slams on its side , there i am covered in dorito's and HPI mags and and a ralph mag that was the best site of the moment the ralph mag.

as i stod up sideways in the cab smacked my head ... and the trucked rolled back an extra 4ft at this stage i shat myself and opened the window and just jumped out of there dazzed.

lucky the engine was ok ... smoky for about 4days cause of the oil that dissapeard into the intercooler i think the mech said .... cosmetic damage $20k, oh did i mention this truck was only 4months old before i got it .... and 3months after that it was in for its first roll over .

still have my job ... since then have gotten a pay rise and still driving the same truck

enjoy the pics
