Geez, how could that first crane not have those load balancing legs that you can position out to the sides? Or why weren't they using them? Call full of water = heavy!

My guess is the first car just rolled in because the person didn't put it in gear or use the parking brake.
I can just barely make out what appears to be one of those stabilizer arms in the 4th picture - the one as the truck is falling off the edge.

Oh man, I guess they didn't take into account the waterlogged weight...

Hm, why did you give the link to that site? It says those pics are real (the fake one isn't shown on this thread).

He posted the link because someone photoshopped a continued sequence with the second massive crane falling in after trying to pickup the car. The sequence is so obviously fake that Snopes did a writeup.
