This whole thing is crazy.

Also, it looks pretty real but whaaat is this?

You can see it at 1:52 in the video. It's a still image that the video is panning over and it looks like either a car has driven over another car or there's a seam from photo editing. I think the latter is more likely. Can anybody else explain it any other way?

(It could be a little bit of road rage got the better of a pair of drivers. I bet there's more than a bit of that going on throughout the video...)

That is a still panoramic picture, so yes it is a stitch error.

Like JMD says, it's basically a composite picture taken from several frames of video.

I don't think it's faked (multiple shots of the same cars), just quickly done. Well, maybe not quickly, but at least was going for dramatic effect not pixel-for-pixel accuracy.

Although, I must say that the borderline racist stereotype of Chinese being poor drivers is put to shame by this video. They are queuing extremely politely and effectively. It's the design and additional checkpoint causing the problem.

iauisaid:

Yeah, that makes sense.
