    The runway was impossibly short..........

    and yes it was indeed extremely wide......

    That second picture is pure gold It should be made into a motivational poster with the caption: Innovation.

    If you look you can see the door on the car is open and not much water is coming out, I guess it was just a plain old misjudgement on the crane-operators part by stretching the boom a tad much.

    True... Looking at the pictures it's a bit hard to visualise exactly how the truck started rolling though. The support leg (dunno what the english term is) is extended on the right-hand side and I suppose it would have had to pivot around that in order for the cabin to clear the edge of the quay. Would also be kinda the only explanation for how the white bracing remained standing. I guess the fluid that is expelled from the truck must be diesel from a burst fuel tank.

    Top marks for execution I must say. Spectacular fail indeed.
