Aw hell! I do now! I'm guessing the visible one had a lap buddy shortly after impact...or they met somewheres in the middle..

I noticed two persons in the water in a shot on the yacht forum.

More importantly, what made those two think it was a good idea to ride in the boat as they were doing that?

I have the hi-res. I've checked for continuity of shadows as well as pixelization along hard edges. From a hydrodynamic perspective, the separation and dispersement of spray from the bow entering the water is indicative of the event. In my opinion, it's definately NOT P-chopped.

They probably drive the boat when it gets gently placed in the water. That was not supposed to happen.

D'OH


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I think it said this happened in the middle east. I'd assume what happened was they used rope and tackle they 'thought' would hold it up.

BOy were they wrong.

Had it happened here in the US, the manufacturer of the rope or tackle would probably be sued and judged liable for making 200# strength rope that COULD NOT handle a 6 ton boat.

On a side note, I've always just assumed if YOU are not in control of the piece of equipment, you should be nowhere NEAR it, yet alone riding on it. Our R/C locomotives can't be ridden by anyone, only the operator.
