More oddities spotted in the news

Light color and the overall size of the highlights looks off, and that thing would be way too heavy to be supported by a single point of contact on the rim without warping, let alone being held up by whatever sheet of thin stuff that is between the forks, if it didn't flip the forklift entirely. The weight of the handle sticking oout like that should be pulling it off to the side without any straps/etc to secure it to the frame, for that matter, and the shadow looks iffy too. The frame itself looks plenty beefy, but probably designed for something like transporting a bunch of flat stuff like plywood, drywall, or sheet metal.

I'm not saying it can't be real, but unless there's video evidence or at least a bunch more stills it looks a lot more likely to be a fake, or at most fabbed up from something much lighter than iron. Wood or fiberglass over foam I could believe would physically work, at least, though the lighting and balance questions would remain.

Edit: Oh, I didn't notice that the text was a link. It's not April 1 so I guess I can take CBC at their word...
