The Oops List
Check out this directory of pictures involving accidents and screw-ups of every kind imaginable. It would be easy to spend an hour or two browsing through them all. But I think a few of them are of doubtful reality. For instance, this one of the California Highway Patrol is an obvious joke. And I can't imagine how this container ended up inside the engine. There's also this photo of a bird that collided with a plane. I believe it's real, but it's still a pretty odd picture.

The link above to the directory home page works, but when I try the three above links that go straight to the pictures, I get a little message saying, "Don't steal my bandwidth!". Is this a problem with the links, or is my computer having personal problems again?

Is just the site blocking foreign referers, so people can't link the images directly or embed them in their pages. However, the site seems to allow a complete lack of referer, so just try "copy target" (or shortcut, or link, or whatever) and paste it into the navigation bar manually.

Strange. When I originally tested the links they worked. Now I get the 'bandwidth stealing' message when I click on the first image link, but not the second two.

There seems to be a disproportionate number of aircraft accidents in this list. Coincidence?

I can vouch for the real-ness of the "sub-aground" pictures. I work for a gov't contractor that builds subs... we just had an open forum about this, and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. The Navy actually has these pics on their website. It's the USS San Francisco, it ran into an uncharted underwater mountain. One sailor was killed, a bunch more were injured.

Fun stuff. A lot of it seems to be 'classic' web-photos, real and not, such as the 'stealth fighter' picture. Some good for a laugh.

Just a small comment: The "Oh Shit" image is a photo of an intentional effect, often used to wow the crowds at airshows. The F-111 has its fuel dump pipe between the exhausts in the tailcone, and if fuel is dumped during full afterburner operation, it ignites.

I saw the picture of the can in the engine and as a former airline employee (12 years on the ramp) I believe it is very possible for this to happen, I have seen these cans blow across runways with the right amount of wind and if the plane was coming in to the terminal the engine could have sucked the can right in.
