00:00Life is made of ups and downs, and sometimes, our mistakes can have significant consequences.
00:07A simple mistake can lead to a loss of a million dollars.
00:12Watch until the end to discover the amazing mistake that led to a loss of a billion dollars.
00:19In first position, we have the least expensive mistake, but it was irreparable.
00:24We all know that ancient artefacts are considered extremely precious,
00:28and that museum conservators work hard to preserve them in an irreproachable state, don't they?
00:34However, a misadventure occurred in 2015 at the Egyptian Museum of War.
00:38When a funeral mask belonging to the King Tutankhamun was accidentally damaged,
00:43its beard had unknowingly detached.
00:46The responsibles indicated that the restoration had not gone as planned.
00:50The person in charge of the restoration, having used a very powerful adhesive,
00:54which did not match the delicate gold mask.
00:57The museum representatives did not indicate the exact cost of this mess,
01:01but netizens assumed that the value of the mask was to rise to more than 2 million dollars.
01:06Mistake number 2 is more than twice as expensive.
01:09Be careful when you hit something,
01:12because the most expensive strike in the world cost nearly 5.5 million dollars.
01:17It happened in the 1980s,
01:19when a business class ticket between Toronto and Larnaca, in Cyprus, on Alitalia,
01:24was displayed by mistake at 39 Canadian dollars instead of the usual 3,900 dollars.
01:29The error was discovered by a netizen on a ticket sales site.
01:33This person then shared his discovery on a forum,
01:36which caused a real stir before the error was corrected.
01:40At first, Alitalia tried to cancel the tickets issued,
01:44but in the end, they had to honor them.
01:46I'll do the math for you.
01:48On the sale of these bad tickets,
01:50Alitalia borrowed between 19,500 and 78,000 Canadian dollars.
01:55Without this error, it would have earned between 2 and 8 million Canadian dollars,
02:00or about 5 million euros.
02:02Ouch!
02:05Things are getting worse.
02:07In third place, we have the London skyscraper known as Walkie Talkie,
02:12which was first distinguished by its curved walls.
02:15However, it gained notoriety for a completely different reason
02:19when its southern facade, made of reflective glass,
02:22started to melt cars
02:24and caused fires due to its ability to redirect sunlight.
02:29The building, a real concave mirror,
02:32reflected sunlight on the streets, upside down.
02:36To remedy this problem,
02:38they installed a temporary net, then a permanent sunshade,
02:41which led to costs of a few million.
02:44By a few million, he meant a good ten,
02:48in sterling pounds.
02:50Originally, the building had cost about 200 million pounds,
02:54so this sunshade was only a small detail in comparison.
03:00The film industry is extravagant,
03:02and it occupies the fourth place in our ranking.
03:05After the shooting of Justice League,
03:07the producers realized that some scenes had to be added.
03:11However, Henry Cavill had already started the mission shooting.
03:15Impossible, fallout.
03:18This posed a problem for Calendrier,
03:20because Cavill's role in the other film
03:22required him to let his mustache grow.
03:25Coordinating all this cost about 25 million dollars.
03:29And a visual effects team had to be hired
03:31to make Superman's mustache disappear in the scenes in question.
03:35It was suggested to interrupt production
03:37to allow Cavill to grow his mustache,
03:40but Warner Bros. would then have to pay 3 million dollars for these few scenes.
03:45Unfortunately, Paramount had delays to respect,
03:48and the plan fell through.
03:50Production was still delayed when Tom Cruise got injured.
03:54When things went back to normal, it was already too late.
04:00This unknown music band, the Silver Beetles,
04:03occupies the fifth place in our ranking.
04:06We are halfway there.
04:08The poor Silver Beetles wiped out many refusals
04:11before obtaining a recording contract in 1962.
04:15At the time, many producers thought that guitar music was on the decline.
04:20However, when the Beatles, as you have heard,
04:24finally obtained a contract,
04:26their popularity reached new heights.
04:29Products derived from the band's effigy,
04:31including lunch boxes and dolls,
04:33generated sales in detail
04:35for an amount of about 50 million dollars
04:38in the single year 1964.
04:41Now imagine what the producers who had refused them
04:44must have felt when they bought products derived from the Beatles,
04:48as everyone did at the time.
04:50The stakes almost tripled.
04:52The next mistake cost 125 million dollars.
04:56Indeed, NASA lost a Martian orbiter
04:58because of a small mistake
05:00made by a team of Lockheed Martin engineers.
05:03The team had used English measurement units,
05:06while the NASA team used the metric system
05:09during the important operations of this spacecraft.
05:13This confusion prevented the transfer of information
05:16related to navigation between the two teams,
05:19which ultimately led to the loss of the probe.
05:22NASA's money has been floating somewhere in space since then.
05:26But it does not give up,
05:28and plans to investigate the incident
05:30with the help of an internal and independent commission
05:33to prevent similar mistakes from happening again in the future.
05:37Despite this setback,
05:39the next missions to Mars will continue as planned,
05:42focusing more on communication between the teams,
05:45which will of course have to use the same measurement system.
05:48A good idea.
05:51Here is our seventh mistake,
05:53and we are now counting the billions.
05:56A French railway operator will have to adapt more than a thousand stations
05:59because the new trains he has ordered
06:01are too large for many queues.
06:03This mistake has already cost $ 20 billion.
06:06And he continues to work quietly
06:08to expand the stations concerned.
06:11About 1,300 of the 8,700 stations in the country
06:14have been deemed too narrow for the new trains.
06:17But 300 of them have already been expanded
06:19without the public paying much attention to it.
06:22The new trains were ordered
06:24after consulting the operator of the railway network,
06:27who provided measures only for the stations built over the last 30 years.
06:31Many older stations,
06:33such as those located in rural areas,
06:35were therefore forgotten,
06:37which posed the problem of width.
06:39The SNCF states that only part of the trains are concerned,
06:43but some sources suggest
06:45that all the new trains present the same problem.
06:49The eighth mistake happened in Dubai
06:51and cost about the same thing,
06:53about $ 20 billion.
06:55The large commercial center of the Middle East
06:57must have been partially emptied
06:59because of a leak in the shark pool of its giant aquarium.
07:02A video published on the website of a newspaper in Dubai
07:05shows water flowing from the aquarium
07:07and spreading on the floor of the commercial center.
07:10Visitors were kept out
07:12while maintenance teams worked to repair the leak,
07:15which turned out to be a small crack in the glass panel
07:18located at the back of the aquarium.
07:20Fortunately, they quickly solved the problem
07:23and the owner of the commercial center reassured everyone
07:26by stating that the leak had not affected the animals.
07:29Really? $ 20 billion for that?
07:31Well...
07:35The next mistake turned out to be extremely expensive,
07:38more than 7 times more than the Dubai leak.
07:41It seems incredible today,
07:43but Netflix was at the time a startup in trouble
07:46trying to find investors to move its business forward.
07:50The company had begun to compete with Blockbuster
07:53in the field of DVD rental by mail
07:56and they have since become major players
07:58in the entertainment industry.
08:00But the co-founder of Netflix
08:02recently returned to a crucial episode
08:04of the company's development.
08:06In 2000, they would have tried to sell the brand to Blockbuster
08:09for only $ 50 million.
08:12Today, the value of Netflix has exceeded $ 150 billion.
08:16Are you ready for the $ 1 billion mistake?
08:19If you take the time to think about it,
08:21you can probably find out for yourself what it is.
08:243, 2, 1...
08:25It's Apple.
08:27Over the years, we have learned a lot about Apple's team,
08:30about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak,
08:32and about the way they have totally changed the game
08:35in the world of technology.
08:37But did you know that there was a third founder, Ronald Wayne,
08:41and that he owned 10% of the company?
08:44He ended up selling his share to two Steves
08:47for a lousy $ 800 sum
08:49after only 12 days as a shareholder.
08:52Poor guy.
08:54With hindsight, it was probably not a great decision,
08:57especially now that Apple is valued at $ 1 billion.
09:00And you, what mistake cost you the most?
