Well, it looks like there was some kind of support set up, but it looks pretty flimsy.

My guess, is the outrigger slid off. Always hire cheap help or outsource it.
Then call A flapping Lawyer :3_eyes:

I don't think that object you circled was part of the trucks support Rich, it is in all the subsequent pictures, even after the truck is in the water. Looks like it's attached to the wall as some kind of hand railing or something.

I was very disappointed by the Squished Guy archive.

After braving all the dire warnings, there was only one darn picture ... and you couldn't really see the icky parts all that well. At the very least they should have a had shot of after the load was lifted off the dude.

I've seen better on rotten.com and ehowa.com
