It has, but it will bear repeating! Thanks, Mapmaker.

Is the last picture "real" ??

From what I've seen on another forum, I believe the last picture is a recent addition to the sequence.

WARNING: This pic itself is harmless, but a lot of the content on the above site in general is not for the faint hearted, hence why it's not a clickable link. You have been warned!!

It has been posted here before without the fake last picture.
Overlooking the ridiculously fake waterspray, the angle of the truck when it is supposedly falling in is all wrong. I'm no expert in Trucksfallingintoriversology but if the drowned lorry was pulling it in then the angle would be completely different....
....or maybe I'm putting in too much thought.

If the picture is faked -- and there seems at least a strong suspicion -- then it's probably defamatory, since the alleged contractor's name is visible throughout the sequence.

PS. I am not suggesting that Mapmaker, who of course has posted this in good faith, is in any way involved.

The cars on the harbour wall are different in the last picture, and the boat below.
Also the recovered white car on the low loader is missing.
Still quite amusing though!

Agreed that the last picture it all made up. For starters, the people are stood in the same places they are in the 5th picture.

Hello.
I think those pictures are a load of rubbish.

Cough.

Nothing to do with me, by the way - my photoshopping isn't that good!

And you're sticking to it?

I definately with the view of the last picture being fake. No1, if it was real it would have been with the original pictures, because that is what is so funny - the trucks 'falling' into the water. No2, if you look carefully at the picture the leg of crane is still in its correct position in relation to the truck. If the truck was to tip over into the water then it is almost certain that the leg would have to have broken or given way to allow the truck to tip. Hiab's/cranes in general are designed to stop lifting well before the stabililising devices are in danger of giving way, assuming both vehicle operators were using the equipment correctly then once is unlucky, twice is highly unlikely.
