Over the years this email has circulated, showing a car being pulled out of the water by a crane on a truck, only to have the truck fall in too. A second truck is called, and in an obviously fake photoshop, the second truck falls in too. It was always said that it was in Ireland, and that only added to the ha-ha diddly-dee of it for our foreign counterparts. But is it true? As ever, Snopes has the answer.

It happened in Roundstone, Connemara around September 2004, as detailed on roundstone-connemara.com.

Better set of photos of the incident are here. It recently hit youtube too.
