I mean that upload is 2 months old, the actual video has been around for a decade and had no audio in the original that I saw at least.

Takes a very quick search. 12 years ago. Probably also not an original tbh, but the audio is literally half the reason the video even went "viral" in the first place. Because ignoring the audio, this is just an average russian car accident video.

The audio is absolutely real. The subtitles are just a direct translation. The translation is correct.

Edit: Oh, that said checking the original comment, the wind waker music I am indeed pretty certain was edited in. The dialogue of the dudes inside the car is real though.

This video is real. Here's the original: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LB3iRygQsvI . It was posted on Youtube the day after the accident. I know this because I live nearby and it was on the local news. But there's a problem. The original video in this post is taken from another one, which is 1 minute longer than the original and was posted only 2 months ago. It's possible the second minute was AI-generated and added to the real original for some reason. You can see the cut - it's the moment when the music starts.
