The world is full of all kinds of people, some who take a lot of risks, and others who are content staying in their lane. The folks who keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible may get rewarded for their actions, or end up going too far and having to pay the price.
This list is all about such people who overshot the mark and then had to face the consequences of their actions. Some of these might be well deserved, and others should probably just serve as a warning, incase you ever feel like doing the same thing.

In recent events, I would like to think when the Russians thought they could take Kyiv in just a few days and then they found out how hard Ukrainians would fight for their land.

It is common knowledge that Gurkhas are fierce fighters and you simply don’t f**k around with them.
One fateful day, a Gurkha soldier was travelling on a train in India when more than 20 bandits entered his coach with the hopes that they can get away with looting innocent and unarmed people. When they tried to sexually a*****t a woman, it was simply too much for the Gurkha soldier. He single handedly fought off more than 20 bandits with the help of his Khukhri knife, [offing] a few during the face off.

The demon core.
In 1945 scientist Harry Daghlian suffered fatal radiation poisoning and died 25 days later after accidentally dropping a tungsten carbide brick onto a sphere of plutonium, which was later nicknamed the demon core.
Then, in 1946 scientist Louis Slotin accidentally irradiated himself during a similar incident using the same “demon core” sphere of plutonium involved in the Daghlian accident.
Moral.of the story, don’t f**k around with plutonium.

In 2000, Netflix offered to sell itself to Blockbuster for just $50 million. Blockbuster laughed and said no, thinking streaming was a joke. Fast forward a few years and Netflix exploded, Blockbuster went bankrupt. That one “nah, we’re good” turned into one of the worst business decisions ever made.

Desert Storm.
Saddam at the time thought he was powerful enough to be untouchable, or at the very least to cost more than the Western powers thought it was worth to stop him. He had the 4th largest army in the world at the time, it was expected that any war against him would be protracted and costly.
Then the US-led coalition directly introduced everyone to the difference between a regional power and a superpower. The initial air blitz left almost the entire Iraqi military structure blind, deaf, and isolated in the first 72 hours and from there the ground invasion was a unified force just absolutely rolling over scattered and uncoordinated defenders.

Chernobyl. Thought they could push a reactor test too far ended up nuking their own backyard and rewriting the world’s nuclear safety playbook.
