Talking The Real Story.

To inform you all completely of the pictures and situation. This Yacht was being unloaded from a dry dock in Dubai. The weight distribution between the front and back straps was incorrect, as a result the first strap slid forward to the bow of the boat and slipped off completely. This meant the boat was turning instantly to free fall bow first, as it did, the rear strap caught hold of the propellar and tore the whole shaft out, the jolt causing the boat to flip completely over. The crane assistant seen on the boat free falling fell inside the door, stopped by a table.
This is retold from the magazine "Afloat" Australia.

so im afraid to tell u all the photos are completely real and the reason the photo was taken at that time was because the owner wished for photos of the entering of his brand new yacht. Sorry all. matt.
