The pictures tell the story...























Looks like the car was on the back of the green truck and wound up in the drink again.

OMG! This is too funny! I know I shouldn't laugh but it's like America's Funniest Videos.

When and where did this happen, tom?

No idea Patty. It's making the email rounds here at work this morning.

If I had to hazard a guess by looking at the nameplates and license plates on the front of the trucks, I'd say it was somewhere in the UK.

When I'd seen this one before, it didn't include the last frame of the green truck also falling in...pretty sure that one's photochopped. Look at the fuzzy quality of the photo and then look at the positions of the people. Now scroll back up 6 pix (or the 5th photo down from the top) and look at the positions of the people watching the red truck falling in...the exact same positions are maintained by all the watchers in both frames...not to mention the fact that that green truck ain't goin' anywhere with it's brace or jackstand or whatever it's got to stabilize it on the passenger's side (at least not without taking out a good portion of the asphalt it's sitting on as it slides toward the water).

At any rate, the Focus driver and the red wrecker driver really were not having good days!

Very funny! Except to the car and first truck drivers, of course...I think that last one was photoshopped, too.

Oh, and one more thing I forgot to mention...if you'll note in the last few frames, the background has become foggier and the hills in the background less defined, and then in the last frame, the background is seen with the same clarity as the earlier pic of the red truck falling in.

It's definitely a p-chop job. Look at the people standing around near the green van in the photo before the second wrecker appears, and the same people in the same positions in the last photo.

Still hilarious though.
