Not the worst I've seen. Most set-up guys wouldn't catch that until they ran a sample part. Then wonder why the holes didn't get threaded.
As to the smashed holder. I saw a guy load a magazine with each tool shifted one position over. Then didn't discover it until he wiped out six tools. Sad part in your photo is he not only ruined a wheel that was mostly done, but also wasted a lot of machine time. My old boss at CWM would have been more upset about that than the ruined wheel.
