Some say:

Organ harvesting.

Pallets are sealed. Container floor is oddly sealed. Container fits in airliner cargo space.

Human parts must be delivered same day.

Pallets aren't sealed, they are shrink wrapped. Human body parts are shipped in styrofoam containers or better to keep them cool.

There nothing unusual about this cargo container if it is a refrigerated container. The floor is not sealed, it has drain channels for washing out like most refrigerated container's do. The walls are lined to contain the insulation. I used to run a large Food Bank and we'd see many of these refrigerated Land and Sea boxes.

They do NOT fit in an airliner cargo space unless the nose or tail of the plane is specially designed to swing away or up to allow a full sized cargo container to be put in. . . and even then, they would be very awkward to insert. These are 8' X 8' X 20', 40, or 45' in standard sizes. Airliner pods have lopped off upper or lower corners to fit the curved spaces of a plane's cargo hold.

Shipping of human body parts quickly would be far better handled by some organization such as FedEx to get them directly to a hospital that needs them. Doing a bulk transshipping just adds time as the pallet would need to be first assembled to be shipped, and then at the destination broken apart and each package reshipped to its final destination, all of which takes time, which such an organ need cannot bear.

My youngest daughter used to do blood runs for the local hospitals and Blood banks, running much needed blood rare blood types between source where they have what's needed and where a patient requires it. Using a styrofoam cooler and ice, she had a very short time to sometime make a run of a couple of hundred miles. They gave her a red light to put on her dashboard. . . but no siren. On some runs, she was allowed to stop and then run a red light if it was safe to do so. Blood has a much longer "shelf-life" than an organ.

Those are all good points. I agree, and don’t really think those containers are body parts. However, It jogged my memory about something - many uses for body parts these days:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-bodies-export/

PORTLAND, Oregon – On July 20, a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship departed Charleston, South Carolina, carrying thousands of containers. One of them held a lucrative commodity: body parts from dozens of dead Americans.

According to the manifest, the shipment bound for Europe included about 6,000 pounds of human remains valued at $67,204. To keep the merchandise from spoiling, the container’s temperature was set to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

The body parts came from a Portland business called MedCure Inc. A so-called body broker, MedCure profits by dissecting the bodies of altruistic donors and sending the parts to medical training and research companies......click link for above for the rest of the story.

Consider: just because the container has a refrigeration unit doesn't mean it's being used, does it? Also, it might be for other than refrigeration, possibly a filter unit to prevent something (radioactive?) from escaping the container and being detected. Could also be to circulate fresh air inside to keep someone/something alive.

Overactive imagination?

Good input, thank you. Excellent points.’

I won’t defend those who say this is organ harvesting. They say the shrink wrap holds together multiple sealed packages.

My view is I can’t tell from the photos what the content might be, but it was pointed out the sealed container floor is odd.

As for preservation times of organs, you are correct that time is short for transplantation. We would assume transplantation is the aim. There would be no way to get, for example, a donated heart to a recipient in time on a leg of a flight from the USA to HK.

As for Jet Blue or other commercial passenger airliner subbing for FedEx, it is plausible a shipment does not have to be processed through FedEx facilities and one can check it faster on a flight that is taking off.

My first thought when I saw the photos was to think of the White House warning or edict not to buy Apple smartphones because of their spy capability required (maintained?) by the PRC Chinese. If Apple is producing spy iPhones in the PRC, it could mean they import the spy iPhones to the USA. I thought this was more plausible.

Still, I won’t completely discount the organ harvesting speculation because we don’t know for sure that organs are destined to live recipients. They are used for other things too horrible to discuss. The fringe of this horror I have proven, as in proof, that it exists. I won’t go into any more than that now.
