We should learn from our mistakes...

Recommended Posts

Whenever I see pics or vid of something spectacular on the web, part of me wonders "Real or fake?"

In this case, it looks like a bit of both. The green truck never fell in; that is a fun bit of photoshop. The green and blue trucks are the same pic, just with the cab and boom changed color.

It is a nice example of a common web meme, start with something that sounds or looks believable, then just start stretching it for dramatic effect. Snopes is full of that of shit.
It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

Damn, you're right. Even the seagull in the upper right corner is in the same place.
