If it's not photo shopped, why are the rescue workers standing between a wrecked truck and a very long drop down a shear cliff?

Either way, dumb luck.

It's real, I've seen this on other forums.  There are about a dozen photos proving it happened.

I'm not saying it didn't happen.  i don't buy the drop.  The place the first picture is taken from is in the middle of the air 80 feet up in the second picture.

I can believe the "hit the culvert, flipped, came to rest, no injuries" part.  Why embelish it with a huuuuge drop?

Nope, not a photoshop. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see that the pixels are the same size no matter where you look. Edited or enhanced pictures will almost always have inconsistent pixels.

What exactly does an inconsistent pixel look like?  :O

They would look jagged, or squished in where the change was made.

Its photoshoped.......the inconsistent shadows and rock formation give it away. There may have been a drop there but the height has been enhanced.

Edit: The pictures look like they have some wierd shadows going on. The photo from higher up kinda shows what was going on. I stand corrected...

well first off, I have driven down roads like this in AZ. :rofl damm that grapevine UTAH arizona driver :rofl

 I checked out the pic, I don't think it is photoshopped, saying that, if it is the news paper company went through allot of trouble to deceive every one, it does not looked photoshopped, I have messed around a little with those type programs, but hey Its probably some giant conspiracy to deceive us all...

I think if you were closer to the truck you could see those workers are not as close to the truck as you might think from the vantage point of the camera.

How do u past image on the post like that?

you need a photobucket account, upload the photos then there are codes to imbed a photo just right click the "image code" and paste into your post, do a preview first just to make sure you got the right code.

Take note of the chain link cage in both pictures for some frame of reference.

How can it be real then?  If the first picture with chain link fence is taken from land from the same angle that it's taken across the canyon and it looks the same?  That doesn't seem right to me...

Here Grizz I made you a graphical representation of the area where abouts the first picture was taken.  Sorry my camera man is not to scale, or maybe it's Yao Ming.

Haha Tec, thanks.  For how silly that is, it actually helped a fool like me see it's the same.  :aok

Nice drawing also, you should get a job doodling Sunday cartoons for a newspaper.

This picture with the emergency crews was posted on www.firefighterclosecalls.com as an example of what not to do. I think this happened quite some time ago. Any way the site I mentioned is great if you have any interest in firefighting or EMS.

guardian angel....and YES....since my head on acident 7 years ago, i DO believe in em. that particular day was the first day in 3 or 4 months, that i put on a seatbelt. 2 miles from the shop, a saturn crosses the line, and slams my GT. totaled both cars. i only got bruised where the seatbelt grabbed me. the lady in the saturn wasn't wearing one. the airbag almost stopped her from hitting the windscreen. i had no airbags, so i truely believe i'd have been FUBAR'd without it.
