| Ha, gosh I saw those images about 3 years ago the first time. As a frequent visitor to Shanghai (where these were taken) I have to tell you, it's not uncommon to see that sort of load going by. I haven't seen any as big as any of those, but I think if you put yourself in the right location it would be perfectly possible. |

| It would have been better if one of the loads had been a massive stack of len boxes. |

They are photoshopped to "exaggerate", according to the text. Works of art... |

I know they are photoshopped, but it's not a huge stretch from reality :) I don't have anything really interesting but have seen loads much bigger than this one.

Here, just watch these four videos. You'll be left stunned.
HUGE load of styrofoam - (makes the first video I posted look pretty weak)
This one looks bigger than the bus
This one's so overloaded the passenger falls off
This is the smallest load of the four, but it's still MASSIVE!
All the respect in the world to these folks, no WAY in hell I could, or would, do that! |

Rob, I know you're at a disadvantage here, but I'm sure that at least the first is a push-bike - why? Because you can hear the Styrofoam squeaking from the movement, but no engine noise... Unless, of course, it's electric, but I doubt that.
The other three? You're probably right. :) |
