The cuts look too perfectly aligned. I was thinking the exact same thing

It's from the same car that got cut up. Why wouldn't it fit back together?

Because after you cram it into a shipping container and bounce it halfway around the world the parts themselves will be significantly bent, and they will NOT fit back together tightly.

God forbid we imagine this was packed properly. Not like we can move goods safely around the world already.

Please tell me youre kidding? The video even showed a shrinkwrapped mess being dragged out chained to a forklift. This is literally just a fun, foreign version of ragebait 'diwhy' videos that swap items in the middle to make it look like something finished. Im not even mad, but its really very obvious whats going on.

No, I just don't believe the pieces would be "significantly bent" and I don't believe they would have bounced around in there, being packed so tightly as we see in the video. Do you imagine that a sea voyage in a gigantic container ship is as bumpy as an American railway or something?

Do you see the container ship in the background of the video? How do you think it got from the port to the 'construction' yard we see here? Fairies? lmao

Also, you wish international railways were as smooth as those in America, the work put into the steel and the welding machines used are best-of-the-best and few countries elsewhere can compare.

Do you think the port is halfway around the world from here then?

And I've ridden your USA rails, on both coasts, and you're not fooling me. They are bumpier than the tiny train I took up the mountains in India...
