A Bigger Crane?
Sometimes it's just better to leave some things alone.
Created: 10/30/2004 | Updated: 07/08/2010 | By: A. PERRY

In October 2004, an unfortunate parking accident in Galway, Ireland sends a small white hatchback into the cold bay waters of Roundstone. What happens next is the exciting part. Makes you wonder if any of these guys ever had the right tools for the job.


1) With a submerged car in the water, Walsh's Recovery is called in to help fish it out.

2) The crane starts to lean forward

3) What's that noise?

4) Oops! Make that two vehicles in the water. Maybe they should have used a bigger crane.

5) After the Walsh's Recovery crane takes a drink, they decide to bring in the big guns. Michael Long's Truck & Crane Hire sends over a Palfinger crane and plucks the hatchback out of the water with ease.

6) The catch of the day.

7) Now it's time to pull the Walsh crane out of the water.


8)
Oh no. The Walsh crane is starting to go down!

9) Time to hit the pubs. Hope the guy with the white car bought the first round.

In case you were wondering, no one was seriously hurt. Just a few bruised egos.
Yes the last image is a fake. But all the others are real.

But what's worse than a little bug crawling on or biting you? How about a really, really big one? Here are some of the biggest bugs on Earth. Enjoy!

hoffAfter such a high profile career spanning over 3 decades, Hasselhoff has partaken in many a cheesy photo shoot. In Hoff's defense, most of the embarrassing photos below were taken during the 1980's or in Europe. That almost provides a loose excuse for most of these photos. But many of them are still very questionable and a few actually are quite disturbing.
