I think at that point, I would give up and just leave them both in there as a reminder.

This one is bogus. It's a photoshop job, poorly done.
There was a link to these pics a while back. It really is pretty amazing.
The green truck did pull the other two vehicles out of the water.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I saw this on the Ferrari Forum a few weeks ago and didn't get around to posting it here.

I was thinking the same thing, that last picture has to be bogus.
Cranes have two different ratings of capacity, tipping and structural.
This guy in the big crane was picking over the side on outriggers so the tipping capacity would be reached before the structural capacity of the boom, probably the outriggers depending on the design.
By the looks of it his load side outriggers are still sound so if this crane was overloaded enough to tip it would have flipped and landed on it's side, it would not slide 30 feet or so to end up in the water. If it flipped and then slid, the condition of the crane and boom and outriggers would be much different.

It's obvious if you look at the cars and boats in the background.. they change as time goes on, and then suddenly for the last pic they all go back the way they were (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The guy in the white jacket talking to the group of on-lookers is in the same position with same hand gesture in both pictures.

I have seen cranes do this but never twice. The green one is considerably bigger with a greater lift capacity.

Rule # 1 when lifting with cranes "know your boom reach to lift limit"
