ruckus ·

hehehe. I thought it took the guy with the blue top out too but it didn't. Look at the cringe on the guy in the red top when the truck's in mid-flip. What a cack!

a good advertisment for the green truck company against their rivals the red truck company

ColumBUS ·

No support typical of crane drivers.

i find it funny that even though the first truck fell in, there are people standing around the second truck when it is doing the recovery???

but not only that, they are standing in the trucks path, if by some horrible twist of fait it does go in.

I got this in an email, you're missing the last pic of the big truck, when it starts to tip over.

That was in Roundstone, Galway Ireland, see this thread belonging to the Irish VW club:

1st truck = no support arms out
2nd truck = big support arms out

That being the difference.

1st dude obviously thought he could save 10 minutes setting up as maybe he wouldn't need the support. Possibly calculated on the kerbside weight of the car. Kerbside weight of the car doesn't include a few hundred kilo's of water.
