Originally published on July 18, 2013<br /><br />Demolition gone wrong: In a spectacular bureaucratic clusterf**k, a Fort Worth, Texas home was torn down on July 12 — the wrong home. The three-bedroom house had been in David Underwood's family for decades.<br /><br />The city hired contractors to raze a decrepit house at the 9700 block on Watercress Drive. Thing thing is, the crew were given the wrong address — the one to the perfectly good, vacant house next door.<br /><br />And so the machines went to work on Mr. Underwood's dead grandmother's house. A neighbor aware of the scheduled demolition saw machines tearing into the wrong house and tried to alert officials, but it was too late.<br /><br />The next day, Underwood and his wife went to check on the place they planned to fix up and retire in but were greeted with only a bare foundation slab. <br /><br />Explaining the SNAFU, city official Brandon Bennet said simply, "A mistake was made." No sh*t, Brandon. Underwood, to his credit, is pretty zen about it all, explaining that plenty of people have it far worse than he.<br /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
