I've always liked train wreck, although it's a bit overused these days. Very descriptive, though.
It always reminds me of a very old National Lampoon IQ test parody. One of the questions read something like:
"The smoldering mass of twisted metal bore mute testimony to the fact that the _______ was ________.
a. vibrabed : defective
b. brakeman : Polish"
I don't remember the other choices...
