...Oops

Someone ignored the low clearance sign

LOL, thats great.

I saw that a while ago. Very funny.

Looks like the driver is already off the road so he wouldn't see any low clearance signs and maybe he thought it shovel had been lowered when he drove it under the bridge

Why do you say he is off the road? He is underneath an underpass (see the raised sides underneath the bridge?).

That would be one bumpy ride, do you see all those big rocks? Unless that is just stuff that fell from the overpass

I'm used to seeing loose gravel on the sides of the road going under bridges maybe that is why I thought of that first I just checked that link he linked to, it makes more sense that he'd be on the road after seeing the other picture.

That's a fake if I ever saw one.

How can an excavator be pulled through a bridge?

This happened when I was driving home one day and the excavator was pulled off the truck. The truck was travelling at 100km/hr (60mph) and it simply snapped the chains holding the excavator and dumped the excavator on the ground. The bridge was not even damaged! I saw this first hand, so there is no doubt in my mind those images are fakes. The excavator I saw was over 25,000kg, on a 15,000kg truck.

That image depicts the excavator as having already gone almost right through the whole bridge and then it's been moved back 1/3 into the bridge. Who in their right mind would move the excavator back into the bridge when it was almost all the way through it? How can an excavator rip through solid I beam steel? You can only see reinforcing rebars, where are the I beams that are always used in bridge construction?

Also if you note the truck trailer, the mudguards are to the right of the image, that tells me the vehicle was moving from right to left. Why does the damage begin at the left of the bridge?

I have to agree with Julian. Its just not possible.

No it's real. Notice how the hydrolic arm on the bottom of the lift didnt break from the pressure of ripping the bridge in two? (lol.)

lol funny stuff
Looks quite photoshopped if you ask me
