On it's way Gollo.

I never did hear whether it was a fatality or not.

Ya_know:
Here where I work now we use the smaller CAT 777 (easier to maintain in the Arctic). They run ~140 tons. Where I used to work in Arizona we were using the Komatsu 300 and 320 ton trucks. They be huge monsters. We do not use water in the tires due to the much additional weight (8.34 pounds per gallon), so they are your basic BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG Stoopid Truck Tires ;) . Plus up here the tires would probably be a freezin' all the time. It bein' a nice balmy -27°F today here in the Northwest Arctic. :D

Somebody mentioned reflective tape. I would agree with that.

As someone else mentioned, the truck could be real with the people placed in front of the truck. This would be like the picture with the shark jumping out of the water about to eat the military person climbing a rope ladder onto a helicopter in the San Fransisco Bay. Both real pictures, just not real together...

Plus, I don't think reflective tape could cause an illusion like that.

Have you ever taken a picture of reflective tape? Even better with a flash? I once had some reflective tape spun around some drum sticks cause it looked cool under the lights, one day I was spinning them between my fingers, and someone took my picture using the flash. The visual was, awesome!

That said, it is completely plausible…

The zoom of that half-knee does look pretty bad. But why the heck would someone bother chopping in the people on a pic like that? Was it a rival contruction firm who wanted to make these people look bad? BTW, Maj Kong, I'd like that image.

JASONV at SATX then a dot then RR then another dot then COM
