Some Time Ago,

I posted these pictures,

on our blog asking if they were real or fake, well thanks to Mike I now know that they all are real except the last ones showing the second crane being dragged in to the water, 

the action took place took place in Ireland at Roundstone Pier, Conemmara, Galway, around September 2004, from Snopes, 'the last couple of images in the series are clearly just a digitally altered version of the fifth image and not a genuine part of the depicted series of events. Among other tell-tale signs, the bystanders to the right of the crane are in the very same positions in these two images, and the small white boat seen in the left-hand portion of these pictures has disappeared in the penultimate photo but oddly reappears in the last frame', all of this from Snopes and again many thanks to Mike.
