This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

This is a QotW answer Oil Trading floor crash
Not me, but a "senior" collegue back in the days of 4Mbps Token ring, buggered up the network with a faulty printer and badly configured netmon tool. Took the entire trading floor down for a day.

Far from costing the company money, they were actually up £24m by the time we fixed it.
