I should have noticed the manipulation.

The pictures of the first mobile crane falling into the water gained significant attention for this story.

But after an unknown photoshopper faked the second mobile crane falling into the water and added it to the series an already popular story gained a second wind.

Footnote:
The driver of the white car was trapped upside down underwater, a female passerby saw the incident, called out to a local man for help, who jumped in and pulled the driver to safety.

That is a good thing to hear. It would put a serious damper on the funny side to the story if anyone had died as a result of the accident(s).

Blue: The driver cab has the exact same photograph angle.
The cab is not totally fix with the underbody, so it would cant over; or if the truck were falling the cab would not cant over, but the water would splash.
The wheels should be coming more out, because the suspension is not stressed.
Red: The Truck is cut out unclean. You can see that some grey ground hides a bit of the green can in the background, and you can see the cutting edge from the ground under the truck and the other ground have slightly different colors.
Yellow: missing shadow from the truck
Green: The only sharp edge in this pic, all others are blurred while compressing or shrinking the pic. (between the first truck and the cane of the second truck)
Pink: made unsharp, looks fake dusty/foggy

I admit that I could tell it was fake, but not until someone pointed it out to me. When I first looked at your pictures I did not look at them overly long. I guess I may have noticed something fishy had I looked at them more closely.

Crocodile fcks up!

A gamekeeper in Uganda runs for his life after disturbing a hungry hippo having its favourite meal of grass.
Armed with only his walkie-talkie the gamekeeper survived.

The hippo looks really pissed off in the first picture.

That fellow is lucky to be alive! I am sure he probably crapped his pants while that was going on. I know I would have!

he didn't. It was his last mistake. - The moment a crocodile was killed after taking a foolish shortcut across a herd of hippos.

Thanks for the link, dauls. It was very interesting to read(and see) about how one fateful decision cost the croc his life!

Nice to see one of the readers who left a comment to the article thought that a crocodile was a fish.
