i know chocks are strong, but damn
doesn't look fake to me, but its hard to tell from this angle.
I do see what looks like people standing on deck, and they do look like they are leaning. One thing is that this is a snapshot, and so relating any action or movement to the scene is impossible. So this could've been taken when this section of the ship was still, and relatively stable, so the deck crew could get to safety.
I doubt if it were rolling and rocking, they would be having a casual walk on the deck.
So in my opinion. Not fake.
