What's the worst damage you've caused?

0:02.0

I myself may not have caused that much material damage,

0:06.0

but a friend of mine told me the other day how one late night he drove a van into a parking garage in a hotel in Barcelona,

0:14.0

and got stuck under the roof.

0:16.0

Upon reversing the car, all of the roof tiles on that level came down in a chain reaction. They buried

0:22.1

all the cars that were parked on that level. Obviously, nobody could leave the next morning,

0:26.7

which resulted in a lot of compensation claims for missed flights and business meetings,

0:31.3

1:05.2

Your friend's dad has terrible taste in real estate.

1:08.3

He lives in a goddamn boulder stuck in a pool. I erected a tower

1:12.7

crane with the base that was improperly engineered. Two months later, it fell, collapsing one

1:17.5

building, damaging two others, killing one man, injuring the operator, and shutting down the job.

1:23.9

I think the ballpark financial end was around $20 million in damages, and it's all undisclosed.

1:30.3

I wasn't the reason that there was a failure, but that damage was ridiculous.

1:34.3

Trip to Spain with my high school, beer, plus dishwashing soap, plus giant fountain in the middle of a town equals chaos.
