I'm fairly sure that the last pic of the second truck going in the drink is a PhotoShopped addition... Not seen it before and it looks extremely dubious...

Really (I am quite happy to be proved wrong), but some of the pictures are crystal clear, yet others arent. Are you sure?

Didn't bother scroling down to the last couple.
Yes, the 2nd truck going in is a recent, 'shopped addition to the set.

Real, my @rse.

Have a look at the vehicles in the background. Red escort goes, to be replaced by a black van, and then reappears again in the last pic.

Added to that, the photoshopping is terrible.

The last two are fakes, the others are real.

It was reported widely at the time...

The 5th one has two blokes in white shirts standing next to a woman. In the last photo, they are all in exactly the same pose.

Last two as fake as a £3 note. In the last one, someone is standing exactly where the crane should have been, moments before "lifting off"

The bottom of the last truck is exactly the same as the first truck, just mirrored. And where does the man in the blue top go to after the first truck falls in?

And the white RIB tied up alongside the fishing boat disappears and then re-appears

Oh jeez. I think we've all realised by now that the last 2 pics are fake.

My original "its genuine" assertion was made on the basis of glancing at the first pic and thinking "oh. my. god. Not that incident again"
