Photoshoped
actually it’s not a photoshop. everybody on the train died, true story.
Can you explain me why there is a picture so close then
?
its close cause of the news camera!!
May I ask how you got your vgfreek screen name?
May I ask how YOU got YOUR redwing#1 screen name?
It’s a long story that has something to do with my middle name.
The only reason I asked is because I’ve the VGFreek name for a long time and I wanted to know how they chose it.
action verbs help when stating a reason.
OLOLOLOLOL
wtf wow
OMGLOL OMG LOLOMGLOL OMG LOLOMGLOL OMG LOLOMGLOL OMG LOLOMGLOL OMG LOL
HOLY SH*****T!!! THEY SURVIVED???? anyway where did they find the camera
OMG.
I think I’m gonna have to go change my pants.
replying to your first and last comment… uhh do you know what a vg is
sorry i meant to say replying to redwing#1′s comment
but aren’t redwings some hockey team… and if so how is that your middle name?
I though red wings was when you eat a girl out or something when she is on her period. I dont know I mean that is what I thought it meant.
redwings are when u have sex with a girl when she is on her period
That’s angel kiss
i just like sheep
photoshopped or not, isn’t it obvious the picture was taken by somebody sticking their head out the window of the train?
or it could be taken by the conductor who decided to get off and watch everyone fall!
you mean, he wanted to get out and watch everybody fail
they recovered the camera from the wreck, im guessing, if it is real, hope not tho
They might have tooken it right by the train for all you know.
uhm Tom, You say everybody on that train died, huh. Then, Who send this picture?
All this bickering and still no one has cited evidence, no reference to any article involving a train wreck. All hearsay and opinion and a whole lot of whining about it.
You idiot if everyone died, how can there be photos FROM the train? you cant seriouusly be that stupid t onot realize it. dont trains like have a reverse or something? and it was photoshopped, just like the pool-car one. Dur Dur!
Some one could have taken a picture and the camera was found in the wreck. While the camera may have smashed, the memory card could still be sweet.
Do you realise how fast trains travel at? Even if it can reverse, it wouldn’t be able to in time.
Although, I do hope that this is Photo Shoped.
obvious Photoshop…look at the train…It looks like something out of an amusement park and the conveniently placed sign!!! Come On!!!! Everybody should know that train tracks go on one track that goes around or is stopped at both ends. How can a train possibly come to the end of the tracks and fall over? How can a train go the “Wrong Way”?
then how did they get the picture then
Tell me why this is funny, Then!
then how can it be on the website the camra should break at that altitude then memory card dies
Fail “road”? It’s a train track. FAIL
Failroad = railroad.
Fail!
Epic burn!
except that it’s a pun on RAILroad, so it works, actually
Uhm, that’s sort of the point…
Fail.
Failroad = Railroad
WIN!
haha, i was about to make a comment like that, nice!
Me too!!! Wow, we could be like triplets or something!
QuantimBACON!!!!!!!
railROAD! duh
Howabout “Rail Track”?
Almost possible- The car hanging off may have been part of a string of cars pushed too far, sending one car off but leaving the others safe. A mega fail on the engineers part.
Either it was shooped or the train has stopped.
If the train were still moving…
one would expect to see more people looking out the window, especially in the carriages closest to the drop-off. However, it appears that no one is even in those carriages (they may have been evacuated; or it’s a shoop).
the lower left of the tilted carriage at the end would not be touching the lower right of the carriage behind it, as there is no reason one carriage would be redirected that much more vastly than the other such that there was actual contact.
there would be some motion blur, as any amount of motion would cause inconsistencies in the light coming in through the lens of the camera, especially with the way that light bends around the edges of objects even when still.
Therefore, I think the most reasonable conclusion is that the train was, in fact, stopped, the offended carriages evacuated, and picture taking ensued. I think if it was a shoop of a moving train, we would see motion blur (not to mention shoopfail in the middle of the picture).
However, I’m not entirely certain of this because if you look at the foreground of the picture, you’ll notice that the train tracks reflect off of the train’s side, but the “Wrong Way” sign does not (no part of it does). It also looks like there was some use of the rubber stamp on the treeline in the background around where the final carriage would have been under normal circumstances.
Not to mention I would suppose railroad engineers would have thought to put up some sort of rail blockade only to provide a larger visual aid to hapless train drivers, of which we would undoubtedly see some of the shattered remnants. Finally, it’s rather difficult to go the wrong way on a train track for very long.
There you have it: my win, shared with you. You’re welcome.
1: Train is not moving in this moment.
2: Cannot see the passengers toward the way-laid car, simple physics would lead someone to instruct everyone to move to the other side of the cars.
3: Physics again would teach us that a twisted car WOULD make the cars touch in such a manner.
4: If you study the reflection hard enough, you will notice that the sign is beyond the capibility of the camera catching its reflection on the train. (If the camera was further back, it would show the sign’s reflection.).
5: It looks to me that the de-railed car is a passenger car, not the engine, therefore it must have been going the right way all along. (fooled by the way the passengers are looking out the window)
6: But if #5 was correct, then where in the world is the hole in the mountain that the train came out of?!?
Over analyzing fail
True Dat
on # 6
Well it could be possible that the bridge collapsed, Although this does not look possible…
Its still the only logical explanation.
u know u should really keep it short, otherwise u start losing people
To make things very simple, even if the train is moving, you can make it look stopped. You just need a high shutter-speed. A fast shutter can stop the propeller on an airplane easily, so I don’t think a train is much problem.
Also, regardless of the rest of the picture, I think we can agree that at least that part is photoshopped.
tl;dr
I agree.
The sign for example, the pixelation & just everything about this photo!
the only thing that MIGHT be photoshopped in this is the warning sign. you ever think that there might be pictures online that are not photoshopped? perhaps find the signs of a photoshopped image before claiming something to be photoshopped. and not all photoshopped images look photoshopped either, if they are done correctly, only people who do photoshoping for a profession should be able to tell
Most mentions of Photoshop in a post award winner.
hopfully it wuz fotoshoped for the sake of these people…
+1
I’m not so sure… getting the second to last carriage like that would be mighty difficult, i think it’s genuine…?
http://itsjustaphase.wordpress.com/
itsjustaphase… You think it’s genuine… FAIL.
You can’t prove it’s not…EPIC FAIL!
No train track should have a wrong way sign…proof (Epic Win!!)
seems to be a missing skateboard
hahaha thats funnnny! love the pool cannonball fail
It looks mostly genuine, but likely to have been staged. I see some possible evidence of photoshop, but it’s under the last carriage, so I don’t know what could have been photoshopped out. Who knows…
FAIL at Mr. Rushing for being the Captain Obvious
Not everything that’s improbable has to be photoshopped. The picture looks high-quality enough to be a frame from a motion picture. I think the sign was an addition, though.
Its obviously photoshopped, the boy has a blue light casting on his back from the refraction off the water in the original pool.
wrong comment, FAIL
ROFLMFAO
roflcopter
roflmageddon
roflfail
Wow, and nobody noticed the earlier sarcastic comment about the missing skateboard. Attention FAIL.
lol fail
I’ve seen this picture before…
lol @ d4 for commenting on the wrong picture.
ZEON COURTS OBVIOUS TROLL, FAIL AT ELEVEN
It’s an obvious photoshop because there wouldn’t be a roadsign on a railway…
furthermore, why would there be a railway bridge leading straight into the hillside (there is no tunnel visible), and the train is also derailing before it hits the hillside.
PHOTOSHOP FAIL
LOL! The road sign is to tell other trains to put it in reverse very quickly, the tunnel is visible between the last two cars, and the train is headed away from the hillside!
Yikes.
http://stuffwhiteparentslike.com
It’s a train people. Ask yourself: where’s the engine?
That front car is the “engine.” Notice the difference of the front end from the other cars.
Oh, fail.
@CMJ it is probaly at the front. seeing as this is a pictuure of the end of the train.
lol, it is so obsiously photoshopped, the sign, i mean, iff you’re good at photoshop (what this guy HAS to be, when you look at the first 2 carriages, wich are a nice job, though) you wouldn’t fail at a sign like that, so i wonder, why the hell did he fail on the sign, and ruled on the carriages? still, a nice job, and a big fail (both photoshop and the picture itself
)
Because the sign was made by a different person, as made clear by clicking Phoenix’s link.
Fail for Not the Author’s reading.
Fake. That train track is somewhere near Cairns Australia and it did not look like that the last time I went on it. XD
The Kuranda-Cairns tourist line
true…
This is clearly fake. For one thing, you have a American road safety sign beneath a European-style hazard sign. Also, if you look closely at where the first and second coaches meet, you can see a dark rectangular shape on the hillside, commonly recognized as a tunnel. Going from a tunnel directly to a bridge is actually a common occurrence in mountain railroading. Therefore, I have to say that having this picture here is itself a most epic fail.
its obviusly not real who would be lousy enough to post this and laugh at it if it was real! kudos to whoever shoped this mustof been hard
So we know the road sign is fake, but the question remains, is the rest of the picture fake or real? it could be real, train is moving “backwards” (engine is behind the camera) and the last car derails just before it enters a tunnel. It’s plausible. I can’t say I’m convinced either way, but what the fork, it’s just a picture.
what the fork
lol at the wrong way sign
Probably photoshopped. How the heck did that photographer live afterwards?
he didn’t, but the camera survived.
sign is real – both these are seen in australia, but not on railways.
Train goes Cairns-Kuranda in Queensland, a tourist route. Only single track and one train, so very unlikely to run if line is blocked!
Carriage is photoshopped.
O.O
^ Face… Then logic kicked in.
uber failtrain+dumbass train captain= UBER DUMBASS FAILTRAIN EXPLOSIN!!!!
hmmm epic photoshop fail at not making the second carriage not life up in the air like it would if it was being derailed and the weight of the first car would make the second cars back wheels rise up in the air pulling the rest of the cars down.
who would climb that mountain dodging trains to shoot a sign
ive only ever heard of *hill*billys
never *everest*billy
^_^6
Wow…I’m surprised nobody has noticed how in neither versions of this the sign isn’t reflected in the carriage, whilst everything else is, including the concrete directly behind the sign which we should not be able to see all of in the reflection if the sign were actually there. The fact that the roadsign is photoshopped surely means all of it is…
Read the above comments and the lack of reflection was allready discussed and dismissed to a fairly large degree.
Comment Fail
Is it just me or does it look like there’s a guy’s face just below the front of the first carriage, wearing a white turban, as if in the original photo there was a passer-by in the foreground? It looks as if his torso has been blurred out but his face is still there…maybe it’s a genie whooooooo
Does this look familiar?
How about the movie Wanted? Definitely looks like the train scene from it.
The wrong way sign is definitely ‘shopped… It looks so obvious, not to mention they most likely don’t have those on train tracks.
wat happends to the rest of them
WOW thats terrible
Hahha… this was found on worth1000 (a place to enter contests over photography, but mainly photoshop contests creating manipulations) it IS photoshopped… trust me i’m a member of the site. it’s fake!
of course its fake,but its brilliant!
It’s tragically hilarious.
P.S. Shopped anyone?
Actualllyyy… if you do look close enough there are people with their heads out the windows near the front.
about to fail
sorry i wrote that 3 times… it wouldnt let me send it.
simple, photoshop, both near and far in this picture are in focus, you can see details at the far end of the train, and right up at the camera
just a thought, real or not, couldn’t the engine simply be pushing the train in reverse?
i’ve seen the wreck, its real, i nearly collapsed when i saw that picture, i can’t believe the camera was able to survive. noone survived that crash
Wrong it was shopped, people who make up stories about being at these palces are jsut life fails
Well, if someone took the picture, then how did the news crew get the photo?
Ermm ever notice that the sign has no shadow at all, it looks like 2D meaning no third dimension, besides only one car went off the rail and looks like its capable of staying put and not slide further and pulling the rest of the train. So no completely fatal crash, no stupid sign, but a VERY good joke.
OBVIOUS SHOOP IS OBVIOUS
Over-analyzing FAIL
Win ^,^
Kuranda Scenic Railway this is at, its in Australia!
HAHAHAHAHA! A lot of you assumed the train was moving.. haha No one but the retard saying “this was a true story blah blah blah died” said the train was moving. Obviously the train is stopped because the ladies hair isnt being blown by the wind..
if you take a closer look under the falling car you can see that there is a doubled part. this is an effect caused by the stamp-tool in photoshop or other editing programs.
i think this case can be closed…;)
this is edited, if it wasent the camera would have been destroyed when the train fell(if it was going to) and if it was stoped it doesent make sense railroad tracks are checked daily before use, and you can clearly tell that, that railroad looks rotted old, and been gone for awhile
doo you just cant see the rails and you can tell that it is the back of the trail wich looks falling off it isntt anything bad
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE A TUNNEL! LOOOOOOOOOOOK!
im going off the rail on a fail train?
This is not a photoshop fail! It’s a photoshop WIN, since so many people actually believed it.
it’s all fake!! the “wrong way” sign it’s too small, in the real life you won’t only put that sign, you close the railroad!! and the warning sign looks like made by ACME lol!
anyway, it’s a funny pic
omg if real those poor peeps
omg ur all sooooo weird this side of the sea! its so fake wot mongs thinks its real! hahahah!!!
Look at the red finish on the train. You can see the white tracks reflected in it somewhat. You CANNOT see the “wrong way” sign reflected in it. There are a few other inconsistencies, but I think this is the easiest one to point out. Photoshopped. Case closed. Next.
PHOTOSHOPPED
Yeah, fortunately, you photoshop people are right. DEFINETLY Photoshopped. At first I though the conductor had the train running and stopped it JUST in time… but all the good reasons you guys gave, the sign being 2D, the sign not being reflected, the double spot under the “falling” train, the woman’s hair not flying back by the wind, in fact her hair not moving at all, and the railway only being ONE track long, and if there was something with that track, the whole thing would be closed. Whoever Photoshopped this definetly WON big time, because A LOT of people fell for it. xD
Hey ever notic the sign dosent reflect off the train. Photoshop Fail
wrong way
It IS photoshopped. Look under the last stable car : you can see the last bit of the rail. The train goes into the mountain. It doesn’t just end there, there’s more to it.
And like everyone else said, the train is not moving.
you guys are idiots… the track turns left at the end into the giant hole in the trees and its photoshopped 2 extra cars
Silly people..
This is an HO-scale train with incredibly tiny people. 437 ultramidgets died in this crash. It was on the Internet.
not funny so many died…
does any1 have the aftermath photos?? i’ve seen them before but i need them to prove its real.
this r teh fakezor but teh funniezor
either the train stopped or u jumped out at the right time cause if u died then this pic were not be no da site
Hopefully no one has pointed this out (did a quick look through using the “find word” feature and nothing came up) but I think the biggest tip that at least some photo shop was used is the “wrong way” sign. I know that someone else has pointed out that trains wouldn’t need such signs as they go back and forth on the tracks, but I don’t think there are any warning signs with a “!” in them. I tried doing a google image search for one but only computer generated ones appeared. Also notice that everyone is watching and taking pictures. I’m fairly certain that when one is about to be involved in an accident where they will probably die, they aren’t admiring the scenery and grabbing their cameras to snap pics to show people. They would be running around inside maybe even trying to jump off. I do find it strange that so many people are leaning out the windows and looking ahead though. Maybe this is the real hogwarts train and we have just never seen the part of the ride where the train comes off the tracks and flies over to where the school is. The people leaning out are first years wanting a look at the take off process.
Most of the people seem like such douche bags on these comments.

“action verbs help when stating a reason. ”
It’s failblog, We’re not writing essays here.
That being said I’m contributing to the criticism
if it was going the way the picture makes it look like its going, where is the engine to the train?
….also if this was real, we should have heard about it on the news (unless it was like ten years ago and the pic only came out now)
….and dont you think the conductor would have been notified about this giant hole? If they knew where they were going… yea….
does any1 have the aftermath photos?? i’ve seen them before but i need them to prove its real.
Its a train somewhere in Ierland stuck like this that cant move
But you can still get in the train! :p
it’s obvious, the last two carts are pshopped hard! it’s blurry around them and the 2nd from last and 3rd from last are exactly the same. The train actually goes left, and there is no warning sign (no reflection)
Restatings**tftw!
thnx for ruining the fail
Because if it wasn’t all those people died
