I think you can safely say this wasn’t what the owner had in mind when he threw that “launch party”. Actually, the yacht was being loaded onto a cargo ship for delivery when something went wrong and it crashed nose first into the ocean. Yeah, that’s gotta suck but probably not nearly as much as it did for the guy that went along for the ride (top right, rear of the boat). Great job by the photographer though getting these photos. Can you say Yee Haw!!

Why is it that the shadow for the guy’s leg goes straight down, as if the sun is above him and the rest of the shadows on the boat go to the right? As if the sun is to the left of the boat.
hmmmm can you say Photoshop?
The shadow is to the right of his leg, just like every other shadow. Nobody cares enough to PS shadows. Thats like saying you’re going to remove an arm for looking weird in the picture. Just no. Learn your fake from non-fake pictures.
It’s been well documented that this actually happened.
The shadow is from his right leg, which would be roughly the same shadow traits as the others. The left leg is bent up and towards him, which would put the shadow in the area to his left where we can’t see it.
I was there. It’s not a fake. What you see is actually what happened.
bigger concern – why isn’t the the canvas cover for the console blowing upwards? instead, it seems to be lying there.
The event has been verified on several yachting sites by people who were actually there.
Is this real? looks like photo shopped for me.
Holy cow I’d hate this if it were my boat. Damn. I almost cried when I saw this….
