The best thing was my 4 year old japanese host brother looking at the photos with me, and laughing at them. Stupidity knows no cultural barriers.

I was waiting for the third truck to go over.

I'd say it was two somebodies who weren't thinking...

P.S. "Sombody" isn't a word.
P.P.S. "Break" means to damage something. A "brake" is the thing that you use to slow something down.

Clearly the participants were unfamiliar with proper operation of the 1st crane truck, whose stabilizing outriggers weren't deployed.

Perhaps this might help with future endeavors of the sort.

That is quite embarrassing when the rescuer needs to be rescued.
