Default Read the text you'll understand

I was looking through one of favorite safety sights (http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/photo/index.asp ) and found this one. Here is the text under the picture:

"One of the truisms of aviation is, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”

Except this one. Fortunately for the pilot, this was one he could climb away from, as long as he didn’t get electrocuted. In fact, that may be him on the roof, just above the cockpit.

A contributor’s grandfather took this photo in Oshawa, Ontario Canada, in 1918.

Presumably this was an emergency landing. If not, it was a landing that became an emergency. Note the ladder wagon with a ladder on the side of the building, not quite tall enough to reach the plane"

from the AWM. Captioned as "Bandiana 1942-47 badly damaged CMP Chevrolet truck." but I think it is more likely to be late war or even post war as the truck has lifting rings on the front axle.

Default Lifting Rings

My F60 LAAT built July 1944 has lifting rings fitted,
I guess traffic cones were a bit tougher in there day, not the cheap plastic items you can knock over with a pedal bike,
maybe the driver being on the right hand side of the cab walked away [Once he stopped shaking]
