**Undersized cranes (plus a little bad technique) lead to oversized pains:** Update: Last two frames are photoshopped, but still funny enough. ![](http://cdn.vanillaforums.com/cartalk.vanillaforums.com/FileUpload/aa/2e95aec59bd57ec8415119a5fdaa90.jpeg) ---

Now THAT is HYSTERICAL!!! Sad, but hysterical nonetheless. ---

And why you should mistrust any photo you see on the Net. The first crane accident did happen, but the other two crane accidents are Photoshopped. > **[Crane Accident](https://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/crane.asp)** > > Do photographs show a series of cranes falling into the water while attempting to retrieve a submerged automobile? ---

I have actually seen video of this happening on one of those reality clip shows. The pictures above may well be photoshopped, as they look different than the incident I saw, but I did see a video of this happening where a car is being lifted out of the water only to have the crane lifting it fall in. ---

Funny. They forgot to drain the radiator(s) for extraneous weight. ---

Definitely photo-shopped. The only difference between the second crane and the third is the color of the boom. Everything else in the pics is the same…Funny though. ---

There is a lesson to be learned here: “Never send a boy on a man’s job”. The only sin worse than using a small crane when a larger crane was called for is to use a small trump card and being over trumped when playing euchre when you had a larger trump card available and losing the trick. ---

I can see you’ve been playing with my BIL. I’ll swear he can memorize every card that’s been played, who played it, and in what order. ---

Photoshopped or not, that’s pretty funny and is the laugh of the day for me. 🙂
