You photoshop it. There is no way the wires can support that much load.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 12 points 1 month ago

Possibly, but there is a second photo from a different angle. However, this would have been newsworthy and I can't find anything on it, so....

Those cables are definitely acting like there's nothing heavier on them than air. Look carefully, which wire is the van even supposed to be on? The lower wires aren't under tension - they have slack loops attached to the pole in the background of second picture which would have been pulled off by even a human's weight.

(Not to mention the gap in the wire by the van because of the crop as someone else pointed out)

Ended up in a rabbit hole, it was definitely photoshopped but the truck wasn't what was added, they removed the wires from the crane holding it up which is why those pieces of cable are missing

Here's the rest of it

Interesting Doesn't explain what they're up to though!

lol how did you even find that?

This definitely isn't real. The cables don't look right around the truck. If a truck had somehow landed on the cables like this it would have pulled the telegraph pole down

Possibly? This is a poor photoshop my man. Just look at the top of the truck a bit on the left, there is a whole ass section of wire missing where the truck is.

The same way as when they find deer or moose up there. When they tension the wires they do them all at once and if the truck was parked over the wires it could lift the truck.

Waiting for the rest of the flock

Props to whoever engineered those power lines! I sure wish they'd build them like this where I live. Instead, they break every time it snows.

You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.
