Empirical solution is best.

RE: Empirical solution is best.

The last one was photoshopped.

You're not the first!

More relevant to this forum is the fact that the vertical load would have caused the wrecker to rotate around the outrigger foot, not slide sideways off the edge.

RE: Empirical solution is best.

Just for the record - Do we believe the first part of the sequence? a saw the photos of the first crane about a year ago and just accepted them. The doctored last photo was not amongst them but I'm now thinking again.

RE: Empirical solution is best.

The sequence of pictures reminded me of something that I witnessed in 1969 while seving in Vietnam.

First a jeep got stuck in the mud. A ton and a half truck came by and tried to pull the jeep out of the mud, but it became stuck. Next they sent a two and a half ton truck out, but it also got stuck in the mud. The following day a helicopter flying crane came by and pulled them all out. At the time we thought the whole episode was pretty funny.

RE: Empirical solution is best.

It wasn't that difficult. Very poor photoshop fraud.
 
look at the last picture where the big crane was in the water too, look in the background at the red car on the pier it was there in the early pictures - look a the people too - then look at the second to
last picture - there is a van in front of the red car... also compare the first picture after the first crane was fully in the water -- compare the position of the people with the last picture of the second crane
in the water. Lastly, where did the foreground branches go?

This site has a description of the incident:
