What's your worst/funniest/oddball FU or disaster?

Man, that's one expensive F.U. That's what you get when you put poorly-trained steering wheel attendants, that are only one step removed from knuckle-dragging apes, and put them in charge of large, expensive, machines. These places like Indonesia and PNG are where some incredible F.U.'s happen.

I recall one episode in the mid 1980's where a heap of new Komatsu equipment had to be barged up the Fly River in PNG, to Ok Tedi mine.
This was the only way they could get the equipment in, there were no roads, the country rises 10,000' in a mile in some places.

This barge was huge, they loaded it with about 4 or 5 dump trucks, a couple of dozers, a couple of loaders, and some smaller items - all new.
However .. no-one checked the C. of G. The barge took off upstream .. and promptly turned turtle .. like 180

It was full of scrapped tractors, so a few had to be unloaded before it could be lifted.
