Can this be real? I mean man to hit that small a target at that distance makes me less than sure... but it's still pretty cool anyway.

Ya I figured it had to be fake. Hitting that small a targer first off and then that pool didn't look deep enough or long enough to dissipate the impact. Man if you can't trust people on the Internet what has the world come to!

But it's still pretty cool.

That is no longer the stern, it is now known as the POOP deck.

Holy Crap!

Snopes can neither deny nor confirm the actual story.

The pictures are genuine but the back ground story is suspect.
 
I like to think it's pretty close to what happened.

Maybe not the boat yet but certainly the load/unloader outfit was bonded.
