    Second to last pic shows the unfortunate crane out of the water, and halfway up. Last pic shows it's back in the water. Is the second crane not able to lift it? Did a third one show up later?

    Gee did anybody get hurt? ... idiots.

    I once watched a guy lift a container of the back of a truck with the sidelifters with out putting the side support thingies out ... the container was NOT empty as he thought and it very nearly flatterned a Triumph Stag of a mate of mine ... missed by millimetres.

    I guess they put the side support thingies there for a reason ... der ;).

    Too bad it didn't get the Stag. That engine is the worst excuse for engineering on the planet. Now drop a 3.5L Rover V8 in there and you have a car!

    Al head, Cast iron block and head bolts that are not parallel to each other...

    What were they thinking!

    Sorry to open this back up, but there were some more pictures. The second crane went in too.

    Good catch; it was chopped and edited from pic #6. Look at the light colored zodiac against the red boat in the background as well as the people standing around (or lack thereof).

    When the small crane goes down there is a green minivan and the guy running with the white T-Shirt.

    When the big crane is there and it trying to take out the car there is a Jeep in the back ground. Same when it is trying to lift the truck

    The photoshop image the green minivan and the guy with the white T-Shirt are back! :D
