are so afraid of their initial goals that the results become absolutely hilarious, from military mishaps to disastrous street parades. Here are some recent and historic plans that really failed. It is not an easy task to capture someone's image in a painting or sculpture, but that has not stopped several artists from trying to pay homage to celebrities by creating some questionable statues of them while trying to immortalize someone with a statue. It is generally an honor that this statue of Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo was rather an insult.

The Cristiano statue was inaugurated in 2017 when Portugal renamed Madeira International Airport to Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport after its famous export rolled off the tongue, but the attention The statue obtained was not the type that sculptor Emanuele Santos had waited. The internet went crazy with widespread criticism and mockery of the statue with its twisted face and creepy grimaces. Santos then created a new version of the sculpture, but the first would never be forgotten, yet the Ronaldo statue seemed like a masterpiece compared to this intriguing piece supposedly depicting US First Lady Melania Trump. artist Alice UPOV is a PI gamer by day, an amateur chainsaw-wielding sculptor by night, let's just say she's not Michelangelo, Barney the Thanksgiving Rampage, Barney the Dinosaur is all about family, for which is easy See why it would be used in the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but this otherwise cute dinosaur turned into a terrifying nightmare when the 60-foot helium-filled balloon was swept away by strong winds.

There was chaos and screams from shocked onlookers as it became clear. that Barney's handlers were struggling to keep him under control after tense moments in which he threatened to crush spectators and lift his handlers into the Manhattan skyline. Barney was impaled by a light pole, sadly succumbed to his injuries and spent the rest of the parade hiding underneath. a heavy enough policeman rest in peace, but more serious problems occurred elsewhere in the parade when a six-story-high cat in a hat hit a light pole sending

Apple's competitors inevitably took the opportunity to mock Apple and promote their own smartphones. LG France, however, made a serious misstep when they posted their mocking tweet of an iPhone totally undermines their point and reverts all mockery back to themselves Mong, yes, flash mob fails when you hear the term flash mob, you think of a fun group of people who have gathered together for humor or as a social statement, but by the nature of a flash mob there is always the possibility of things going wrong when a flash mob forms in a plot that you thought, oh Spain, just They were pretending to be paparazzi chasing a celebrity who was actually just another member of what was

to be a humorous experiment.

Unfortunately, people mistook the tripods and selfie sticks for weapons and fled in terror. Eleven people were injured in the stampede that followed. Five of the German pranksters behind the disastrous flash mob were charged with public order offenses and presumably no longer saw the funny side. Things were going to have public chaos is not a purely modern invention. Equally disastrous mayhem ensued when an 18th-century Englishman sported a bold new hat in public for the first time. Being fashionable requires some risk-taking, but haberdasher John Hetherington's fashion statement became a fashion uproar in January 1797—all because he appeared on public streets wearing an elegant silk top hat, the first of its kind according to countless accounts from the time when women fainted from not being able to bear the radical outfit while children screamed and dogs screamed, the screaming crowd even trampled a young man whose right arm was broken.

John was charged with disturbing the peace and inciting a riot. He was required to hand over five hundred pounds in bonds. Surprised, and rightly so, by his contemporaries' extreme fear of change. Hetherington claimed that he was not breaking any law and that he was simply exercising his right. wearing a headdress of his own design, a design that ironically would become extremely popular. I like to take my hat off to you John Hetherington, sweetest proposal. Everyone wants their proposal to be memorable, but this hope doesn't usually involve a trip to the emergency room when Reed Harris decided to propose to his girlfriend Caitlin Whipple in 2009.

He first thought it would be a fun idea to hide the engagement ring in his smoothie . Unfortunately, one of his friends suggested they race to finish Kaitlyn's milkshake, Reid's competitive horror. She removed the lid and teased the shakes by swallowing the ring. When they arrived at the emergency room, the x-ray confirmed that the ring was indeed in his stomach. Leer later proposed to Caitlin to use the X-ray image of the ring and she agreed within two days. later, after a trip, I would never forget it, the ring reappeared, let's hope Caitlin washed it before putting it in the fire festival, it was supposed to be the dream weekend, full of good music, private planes, activities of wellness, villas and booze on a once private island. owned by Pablo Escobar in the Bahamas, all the attention was supposed to go to promoting the Fire mobile app for booking music talent.

Instead, when the guests arrived at the much-hyped fire festival, all that awaited them was disappointment as it was in ruins and they instantly canceled the festival. he was not on his own private island, but in a much less glamorous corner of a much larger one. The exclusive villas turned out to be disaster relief tents and promised meals from a celebrity chef. We are sad. Tickets for cheese sandwiches started at $1,500, which included flight for Miami Festival tickets, meals and lodging. The sponsor said the scene resembled the Hunger Games with people fighting over tents and mattresses and searching. lost luggage.

This notorious example of deceptive fraud ensnared countless influencers whose desperate search for the perfect Instagram post was exploited and thwarted. As the festival's main organizer, Billy McFarland, went from driving luxury cars paid for with investor money to being sentenced to six years in federal prison for his role in the fraud, the disappointment fell on the unfortunate workers trapped there who were never paid and on the who gave a small fortune for the infinity and pond experience Live television often seems so exciting because you never really know what could happen, but when the producers of a Fox 5 News morning broadcast had the great idea to start their show with a man in an aquatic jetpack. at the San Diego Boat and Yacht Show in 2011.

these uniformed men located between Switzerland and Austria. The country of Liechtenstein is one of the smallest nations in the world. It is one of the 15 countries that exist. without an official army but it did have armed forces in the past in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War the country sent an army of 80 men upon their return they were pleasantly surprised to be able to boast of not losing battles or suffering casualties This was the result of avoiding all fights, but who can judge their strategy? Their record was so impressive that not only did they return all 80 men, but they also gained an additional troop.

Along the way they met an Italian who was so impressed with their self-proclaimed success and military discipline that he decided to join their ranks of wasted opportunities during the American Civil War during the Battle of Antietam Union General George Bemis Wellin was able to get his hands on His nemesis, Confederate General Robert E Lee's battle plans for Union supporters who knew the victory of discovery seemed inevitable, but despite the seemingly clear path to success provided by such a stroke of luck, McClellan was overly cautious. and overestimated the number of General Lee's troops, he also responded too slowly to information and took 18 hours to establish his army he was on the move during the entire delay Lee learned of the approaching Union army and sent troops to cover the gaps, allowing him some time to gather his scattered units and reevaluate his plan.

McClellan's army, which could have totally destroyed his enemy forces, faced significant casualties. and were unable to pursue the Confederates as they retreated, Abraham Lincoln understandably removed McClellan from his command after the hamburger patty incident if you're trying to avoid the police you probably shouldn't dress like an escaped convict, this man was seen trying of hooking up with a he traveled with motorists in the most minimal costume, but it is not clear whether he had emerged from a prisoner costume party in the woods behind him, as expected, his costume attracted the attention of some police officers Like moths to a light bulb, the perplexed police officer searched the banks of suspicious hikers and found a significant amount of drug paraphernalia and other suspicious items.

They handcuffed him and put him in the back of a patrol car, even if he hadn't been there in the first place. I guess he got a free ride back to jail. Fits in perfectly From Russia with Love Christopher Columbus may have traveled the world to discover new lands, but his statue's global adventure was noticeably less successful in the early '90s. Russia decided to gift the US a statue of Christopher Columbus of 600 tons and 350 feet high to commemorate. the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the new world in 1492, but it seemed the recipient thought the gift was too much; after all, he was very Russian with a distinctly industrial look that some have called horribly ugly, but I describe him more as proletariat. elegant in 1993, the city of Columbus Ohio rejected the gift and some nicknamed him Chris Kong Baltimore New York Fort Lauderdale and Miami did the same when Russia tried to tempt them with a bronze statue amulet, the statue that was twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty finally found a home in Puerto Rico in 2016, but I can't help but think that old Chris must have been feeling a little unloved, maybe his designers who robbed Tsereteli can assemble another construction team to build lonely Chris and his oversized girlfriend, Memorial.

The story of the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Center in Melbourne, Australia, is one of the all-time best examples of what they thought. The center was built in the 1960s by Australian architects Kevin Borland and Darrell Jackson. It was planned to be called the city of Melbourne. Olympic swimming centre, but the name was changed after Prime Minister Harold Holt died suddenly in December 1967, a nice gesture, sure, but the palm of the hand was the critical piece of irony the redesign left out was that the Prime Minister had drowned, perhaps associating his name with the implication of having to learn to swim was not the most thoughtful commemoration, although perhaps if they put up a sign saying they learned to swim or ended up like him, it might encourage people to join out of pure fear, seems like pretty intense marketing.

For me, which of these stories had the most ridiculous outcome? Can you think of any other predictions that lack pawns of history? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below, thanks for watching.
