There was a story told to me where someone chartered a large prop - jet aircraft (Capacity approx 15 tonnes) and managed to get the units wrong, so that 8,000grammes of freight were presented to the aircraft, instead of 8,000 Kilogrammes...

Or the DG that was gingerly, carefully loaded onto an aircraft in the UK, with secure vans, police escort, that sort of thing, bringing the airport to a standstill, then at its destination on the fringes of europe being thrown off the aircraft by hand onto a flatbed lorry...

I've heard other stories, but couldnt possibly go into them...
