poor man can't catch a break.

[Djlucky227]

[spareaxe]

They should stick to dancing in train stations.

[ryobiguy]

Why is there 30 seconds of cruft before the video cuts to right AFTER the statue is off balance?? FAIL on video editing, I want to see where he goes wrong, not when it finally snaps off.

[CRAP235]

FAIL

[LatinCarito1]

that is horrible!

[ArthurTyler]

They couldn't have thought the entire thing was made from 1 block of stone? How stupid can they be? Even so, once it was on the truck they would have to lay it down anyway, but by the looks of things I don't think they thought that far a head.

[SaviorSixtySix]

So... They got insurance for that, right?

[alandshawni]

#FAIL

[westnyorai]

that seemed like too much work for a 100 y/o statue lol

[dementor9]

[Marty07]

For a statue 100 years old isn't that old really.

[gr8icu]

[Deadhunter22]

the people that were getting paid to move the statue are probably asking....so do we still get paid? :P

[kthejung]

hahahahahahhaaha

[rockyscarlet]

they are like "we are so fired"

[MrRedPajamas]

Ironically it was a statue of the very first skateboarder from Brecht. He became very famous for being the very first skateboarder to face plant.

[SweetRanma2008]

O.O!!!

[mmmmmvodka]

They couldn't put it in a net instead of just ropes that it can easily slip through?

[devinecrazy]

i wonder who that was a statue of

[thacrackfox]

@devinecrazy Yea, they wonder who it was a statue of too now lol.

[Hinoarashii]

#FAIL

[pdpbigbang]

[Wyndstarthedruid]

i love how everybody there sees whats happening. and they see the body going down. and just let its head smash. wtf. couldnt hop out and grab a rope? lazy fucking europeans. thats why your countries are turning to shit. please. france.....

[dukeigthorn20]

@Wyndstarthedruid

I really hope this is a troll post

[paudie79]

@Wyndstarthedruid It was the lazy fucking Europeans that built the US dumbass...

[Bigbutterballs]

@Wyndstarthedruid Do you understand how heavy that statue is?

[kuei1248]

@Bigbutterballs Not as heavy as it used to be.

[johanwilliam]

@kuei1248 hahah best post ever

[pats606]

@johanwilliamill fucking KILL YOU

:D wuve you ^^

[Bigbutterballs]

@kuei1248 Nonetheless though, its still a heavy ass statue.

[tomislater]

hey, hey I approach :D

[LoreleiMission]

What made 'em think the statue would be superglued to the base? Idiots.

[Adrianooo92]

Epic Fail!

[viemsz]

He jumped! Look closely!

[TalloPL]

It's not a problem. They will glue it.

[yubjuli]

i would jump out of my seat and save it manually...

[michal1337]

oops :D

[NICKRITZER]

just because the statue was 100 years old..doesn't mean it probably wasn't made in china anyways..lol jk..but yeah EPIC fail on their part..

[leojonjb002]

Theyre like "Wtf did we do that :S"

[PhatLewtznU]

only one man can save this situation. THE GREATEST JIGSAW PUZZLER IN THE WORLD!!!

[KurtVachon]

They should of wrapped in in foam, built a wooden box around it, then lifted the box. But what do I know?

[Solos40]

@KurtVachon lol, yeah, makes you wonder why most average people make better decisions than the people who get paid to make decisions actually make. Should the average person be making the decisions??

[JPotential]

@KurtVachon More than them.

[dimaa13]

and then they got fired LOL

[omy785]

Wow. That's what you call "not knowing what the hell you're doing". Epic fail

[teemuruskeepaa]

@omy785 Why should they know what they're doing? They can drive a bulldozer and have job experience in construction. That's their job. Lol

[Pozorrogo]

RIP guy on the statue

But it sucks because it looks like they REALLY wanted to keep the statue

Perhaps they should have gently lowered the statue on it's side and then took it out on a 'stretcher' and put it on a truck

I mean, if they were smart anyway they would have done that

[dracomancer555]

do they have to pay?

[papallo]

Donald Trump. You're FIRED!

[PeanutButterCookie89]

nice.

[aiG0oChamNa]

LOL FAIL/  EPICALLY

[YoungBucksFather]

athests fail too much lol

[blobby1972]

They never should have tried this with an iab they are far too knumb and jerki and If it was the only option the digger should have been suporting it with a back up strop.

[lAuthenticl]

he died again...

[darwinshybrid]

it's belgium..what did you expect?

[gowplayer2]

wasn't it just fine where it was with all the happy balloons, lol. then it cuts to like this fuckin scrapyard, they fucked up a lot of shit just getting to it.

[jhaYLoCcO]

STATUE WIN!

[ladev1988]

[Zloczynca665]

[Broodzak15]

what was the reason to move the statue in the first place?

[Benminssipie]

are they dumb ?

[blobby1972]

@Benminssipie how does not being able to speak cause this to happen.

[xsanctom]

Oh my god I feel so bad! Ouch~

[pulquedelmejor]

I bet they ment to do that so they can save money moving it.

[FValestra]

man please dont send these people to work in italy :-)

[20micky]

omg to many fails

fail

[outpostprime]

lol its just a stupid rock. Person that paid to make it is dead and the thing was old. The statues rock structure must have been weak from over 100 years of being in the elements exposed. The materials used might of been bad too or the statue builder might of broken it and patched it up later before it was placed there.

Who ever was moving it prob spent as much money moving it as it would've cost to make a new one. People these days are so materialistic.

[ghazwan573]

[mightyrammer]

FAIL

[DeliCreateD]

LOL. i bet the others who are really sharing their respect to the statue would go like, " OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH! I'm so sorry!! " LOL

[magic2magic]

They chose not to secure the statue and just the base.  Fail.

[Truthiness231]

#FAIL alone doesn't fully capture just how "monumental" this blunder was ^.^ (hurray for puns!)

[Caeseur]

[flapplewapple]

[RLWSNOOK410]

[joshstyle123]

[Damianuss1]

[Rich0431]

[cesarguru]

@LC21Untamed lol @ that

[SexCyberGuideCom]

[IAmMrTrumpet]

@loserBrendan fake? who would take all that time to do all that setup?

[1934rod]

This just proves that there stupid people all over the world. They should have let professionals handle the job.

[soundsliketruck]

OMG! Anybody knows you use duct-tape and pillows on statues before trying to move them.

[alkhema17]

I bet that statue would be in a better shape if they pushed it straight on ground.

[dreaminvasion]

they are SO fucked

[Ripmolly121609]

@InsaneLionsFan

You must be a hypocrite! =P Did not sense my sarcasm, did you kiddo? Calling me names such as illiterate and fool is not logical because I'm not. I know English pretty well, thanks. Have a good day troll. I am an independent woman with a life, not some kid looking to pick fights over the internet.

[bigtimeyan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Ripmolly121609]

@InsaneLionsFan

BTW, I'M not ignorant either, kiddo. :)

[Ripmolly121609]

@InsaneLionsFan YOUR very immature as well. I'm not a monkey, by the way. I don't see your logic, TROLL. =D

[brenden156]

i wonder what happened to the person who caused that

[chairde]

Opps!

[Galedas]

WE BROKE JESUS!!!

[gearsmasher65]

some one is going to lose their heads about this

[slapoutz]

@gearsmasher65 ya the statue =)

[drew86]

don't want these guys to move my furniture. haha

[sneakymario]

lets be serious though, these men were more concerned about the money involved as opposed to the history of the monument.
