Korean Air Cargo Mishap
Recently at SYD, a KA MD-11 cargo plane suffered a mishap. When the plane landed in SYD its fuel tanks were mostly empty and appearently the loadmaster failed to take that into account as he calculated center of gravity and unloaded the cargo. Since no one was hurt (except the airplane) I found the linked photos quite amusing.

Mate, why all the fuss?
How else are they supposed to change the front tyres?
