A sad and sobering scene (Pause).........

..But it conjures up a few funny captions!

Default Alternate captions for "talk about getting in a rut"

If you're going to borrow their truck, don't dent it.
A whole new meaning to: drive it like you stole it.
It's not mine, so I don't care....

Default If you enjoy learning from other peoples mistakes

If you enjoy seeing just how dumb or unlucky people can be here is a ling to the US Navy Safety Center web site Photo of the Week, you may have to explore around to get all the pictures but a lot of interesting information http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/pho...0/photo262.htm

Cheers Phil

Now do not fret guys, the C17 is taking off, and will clear that loader by several hundred feet.

Got to be the best of all the transport aircraft we have bought.

Default Oh Bugger indeed!!!!

This happened to me a few years back, offroading, and didn´t see the ditch.



Surprisingly no damage, but It´s only a Ford GP, so who cares!
