The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures is eclectic mix of facts & stories of people that have done stupid & down right silly things, whether it was their own fault or they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Take this one titled The Most Failed Driving Tests. Cha Sa-soon of South Korea, who came into the spotlight when she failed her driving test a world-beating 959 times. Or maybe the story of Matthieu Boya, he popped out for a game of golf during his lunch break & by the end of lunch, due to a horrible chain reaction of events, managed to knock a bird out of the sky with his golf ball, which smashed into a plane that was just about to take off, which made the plane swerve & skid into four military jets, wiping out African state of Benins entire air force.
