The red car never left. It’s simply behind the black van. Notice how the van is closer to the edge than the black car in front of it? It’s because there is another car behind the van

you have to look at the surroundings to pick it up. they photoshop what they want you to see and that distracts you from everything else. in the 2nd pic a red car is visible and in the next scene there are more people and now a black van. in the last seen the red car managed to find parking in the exact same spot because half the people went home???

I was emailed this non-failstamped by someone who lived near where it happened, and the last pic wasn’t in there. Seeing as it appears shopped, as well…

See the cars in the background.
Frame 1 and 2, the red and black ones are on the causeway.
Frame 3, replaced by a black people carrier.
Frame 4, back as they were in frame 1 & 2! Obviously frame 4 is a composite from one of the first two frames and the 3rd one.
I too have seen the first three images many years ago. Obviously someone thought it would be funnier to make it look like the next crane fell in too.

Nope, Green truck falling is fake. I saw the original like 10 years ago now.

It looks to be palfinger Hi-ab cranes, most of which “lock out” with an alarm sounding if it is lifting too much weight. I use one for removing 10 metre concrete lamp posts, and even with that alarm sounding there are ways to still move the object (tele boom in slightly, slew object then continue to lift) but using human sight you can see the vehicle tilt – at which point you STOP. lol

Im betting that if the alarm was sounding here, it was ignored… if it didnt sound then the visual checks to the vehicle were ignored. I mean look at that back end of the orange hi-ab. Mental.

In my honest opinion, lifting something thats double the hight BELOW my vehicle is stupid and a mobile crane should be used. (not a vehicle mounted crane)

P.S were the legs even down on the orange hi-ab?? Hmm looks like they werent!

Just for completeness:
http://www.myinterestingfiles.com/2008/06/failed-to-choose-the-right-size-of-mobile-crane.html
The last picture is a photohop of the 5th in that series.
I have seen another one where they even shopped in a blue truck from the last pictures.

By: Rackergen

Rackergen — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:15:39 +0000

There were more pictures. The 4th isn’t a ’shop from the 2nd but another picture out of that series where about 5 were real and 4 more were fake (which you could tell by looking at the real pictures).
The original of the 4th is taken about the same time as the 2ng, though.

If the 4th is shopped from the 2nd, why can you see MORE of the water in forth picture than in the second? and they must have put a lot of effort into completely changing the surface of the water. No one has good evidence of a shop.

After seeing you post numerous inane remarks in the previous FAILS, it is obvious YOU are a FAIL and have no balls. You come here in the past to troll, knowing you are spineless and wouldn’t last a milisecond in the current FAIL posts. I dub thee EUNUCH TROLL.

These are better pictures of the same event – though the last green crane clearly does not fall in – it rescued the first crane, and car, successfully:

The boat looks more red in one than the other so obviously the boat must be photo shopped as well! =O

This one was on Snopes. (link higher in the thread) all are real except the last crane falling in.

By: mick

maybe because it was tied up? and it only moved a bit because it’s FLOATING on WATER that MOVES. (all those caps aren’t because i’m mad or think you’re stupid, but just for clarity)

By: mick

mick — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:15:56 +0000

oh yeah, one more thing;
“why in H*LL would people stand underneath the green truck?”
where did they get the people to photoshop into the spot where the truck had just been? (hint hint might they have run towards the truck when it started tipping…?just because they were where the truck WAS, doesn’t mean that they were there all along) they aren’t in any of those positions in the other shots…

read Ben’s comment from October 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm (it’s up near the top)
i don’t see that the fourth is fake: the red and white boats; the white boat is moved further back in the second shot and at a different angle, but also: the quality of the two shots are different; somone probably had a tripod set up on the other shore, and didn’t get the third shot, but did get the 2nd and 4th, and in between shots, their camera got just a tad bit out of focus.

how quickly you people jump to the conclusion that everything is faked. maybe if you really thought about the situation, you would probably realize that all those little details can be explained.
