However, as to the fountain below the pole-vaulting
crane in the 4th picture....Look closely at the car. It has
fallen kind of sideways into the drink (again), and, I suspect
that the fountain is actually a blow of water vapor coming up
through the engine compartment, and being focused by the
sprung and twisted hood.


There's no hood back there - and the color is wrong. I think
the fuel tank was ruptured during the slide across the
stone wall edge.


I was kind of amused by the fact that the guy in the
gray shirt, "supervising" next to the red-shirted operator
totally vanished between the 3d and 4th frames. He apparently
decided that he was a bit TOO close to the flipping truck.


Yes, I noticed that - though I thought his jacket was blue
instead of gray. Sort of blue-gray. But he comes sauntering
back from stage right after the fact.

What bothers me a bit is, where are the controls for that
boom? There had to be an operator, and I cannot see him
on the landward side of the crane, so I suspect the
hydraulic controls are on the sea side. And I didn't
see anyone go in the drink - so he must have had time to
get away.

My suspicion is he's the guy closes to the edge, wearing
all dark (brown/black) clothes, peering over the edge in
disbelief. I bet I know what he's saying, too....

If you blow it up, and find the figure who was closest to being pinned
by the rolling truck, the gent in the coveralls and red shirt,
he goes from being front and center looking at the hood of the
car, to way back behind the falling truck.

That took time. He had to run around the truck. It didn't overturn
that fast.
