In Belgium, a group of construction and haulage experts are moving a 100-year-old statue for renovation. A difficult job, sure, but hey, these guys are pros.

Alas, it was not to be, as this footage that has hit YouTube with fervor shows.

The bungling Belgian crew manages to drop the monument square on its head as they hoist it off its base, lopping his stony head clean off his shoulders.

If any readers can shed a little light on what the statue is we'd be much obliged.

Altogether now: "Fail!"
