Unfortunately that last frame is completely fake.

 
Niggy Tardust

Yup, the last shot is a ’shop job. Pretty funny if you just pretend it isn’t though!

What a shame, i laughed so hard and now i discover it was a photoshop!

Fail Blog

Seit einigen Tagen habe ich das Fail Blog in meiner ‘muss ich lesen’ Liste und wahrlich, ich werfe mich bei jedem neuen Beitrag förmlich weg!

Im Fail Blog werden Schnappschüsse und Zufallsaufnahmen veröffentlicht, auf denen Missgeschicke oder das…

 
Curious

How do we know the last one is a Photoshop job? Why aren’t they ALL suspect? And why does only one frame have those dead branches along the shore in the foreground?

Lancer

OMIGOSH YOU ARE SO ON TO SOMETHING!!!
Also, looking at the image, the one with the dead branches also is missing a yellow sign that was in the other ones… in fact, there are a bunch of ways to tell that the third one is fake… nice goin Curious!

actually, if you look closer you will see that the photograph was not in the same spot in the second picture. Yea Maybe they are fakes. But who know?!…

Uhmm.. you never saw a bin? and yeah, this one IS yellow

 
 
 
Ted

Look at the cars and people in the background. In the third image, the red car from the second image is gone and is replaced by a black panel van and a bunch of people. In the final image, those are all gone, and the red car is back.

RuNB4iKiLLYoU

You have to say that severals minutes or even hours past between those pictures. you know a crane is not as fast as you think! Lot of details can be changed in one hour

ZapTap

not really, the little white dinghy in the background hardly moved :P

Damn, I was going to send this in myself as well. :)

 
Slavok Ljapochkin

I’m from russia! My name is slavok ljapochkin. Give me computer please!!!

 
Hunter

There are larger versions of these pictures on the internet where it is very obvious it is a shop job. The man standing in the last shot facing away from the water in a white shirt appears in exactly the same position in an earlier shot. Why not just show the original machine falling into the water and having to be fished out. It was funny when I saw that, then I saw the shopped one and it just pissed me off.

 
Yahriel

Even if it is a shop, having a crane fish a crane out of the water is still fail.

 
raincoaster

How is it less funny if it’s fictional? Nobody drowned, therefore it’s boring?

It brought a smile to my face.

Adam

So why the hell did the guy below plagiarize Saul Williams’ alter ego name, Niggy Tardust?

 
 
Josh

It would have been better if he had stopped before the “and…” picture. But I agree with Yahriel, a crane fishing another crane out of the water is Fail. So what is comedically best? Having just the first two pictures, having the first two pictures followed by a random third picture, or having the first three pictures followed by a photoshopped picture so that the third picture would not be random?

 
 
Hellomyfriend

My dad saw this. The last one is photoshopped though…

 
arturofonseca

Reminded me of this helicopter fail video…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mfygNjwm_U

 
Patrick Gray

Too bad its a fake. I died laughing when I first saw it.

Great Job!

 
CSBlakebrough

It’s not all fake - the white van really did go in, as did the first crane. Only the bigger crane going in is fake, the rest really did happen.

 
AGP

As a practical matter, you couldn’t tip over that larger crane. You’ll notice that is has a large stabilizing arm that has been deployed. With that in place, there is no way to tip the truck as in the picture, the boom would snap before that would happen (that’s the whole point of the stabilizer).

Photoshop…. That happened in Ireland and I heard it on the news…. The last one only is photoshoped… Only in Ireland lol

 
Joe Bloggs

Photoshoped…. that happened in Ireland. I heard it on the news. Just the last shot is photshoped. Only in Ireland… lol

 
 
johnny

the last shot of the crane falling into the water is photoshopped. but the rest really happened as in the pictures. it happened two years ago in west galway (Roundstone if my memory is correct) about 15 miles west of where i live. the car driver left the handbrake off and the car was fortunately unoccupied when it rolled backwards off the quay.

gruhn

Yup, Roundstone.

(to others) It’s “clearly ’shopped” because the elements in the bottom picture are exactly the same elements in the second last. Cut out truck, rotate, move. Amongst others.

 
 
RichardProctor

Not that it’s not established that the third is a photoshop, but there isn’t even a splash. The crane is slipping majestically into the water.

“Photoshop…. That happened in Ireland and I heard it on the news…. The last one only is photoshoped… Only in Ireland lol”

Confirmed - guy i went to college with had a photo of this, think it was in Gweedore or somewhere else in Connemara (west Ireland)

 
Jokke

It happened in Norway!!

True until the last frame. Check Snopes.com.
