Safe lifting techniques..
Would have been funnier if the first lorry had pulled the second lorry in.
Shame there were no close ups to see the looks on peoples faces as the lorry went over.
It was quite lucky the lorry missed the corrola when it went down, at least I assume it did unless it's a super reinforced corrola.

The driver obviously never needed stabilisers on his bike as a kid!

Nope, a TOYOTA COROLLA
i would like to hear what the crane driver said to his boss 
Gaz, you weren't taking a job as a crane driver were you?
What a plank! If the first lorry had pulled the second lorry in and that in turn pulled a third lorry in it would be really really funny!

lol, no but ive always wanted to be a demolition expert
you could see from the first pic that the lorry was un-safe to lift from where it was
I've never known that bother crane lorry drivers before. You rarely seem to see them with all the wheels/stabilisers on the deck.

That is incredible it's not faked is it?
I hope nobody was standing between the truck and the water when it went over!

the first crane doesnt look like its got any stabilisers
dont cranes have to have all the safety things down before they can operate

A quick bit of detective work and I found out that it happened at Roundstone Pier, Connemara, Galway. I found it on an Irish discussion board.
Sorry that should have said deck, better go back and edit.

They are also called "outriggers" Gaz, you can see they haven't been deployed, it the Palfinger being used wasn't dangling over the water then there would be no need really for the stabilisers but in the case gravity kicked in and voila!gaz_wrexham said:
I wonder if the cameraperson knew it was going to happen or they thought, "oh a recovery, better get some pics to master........!"
