So to my inexperienced eye these do not look like the same motors.

Can any Motor Head guys tell me if they are the same.

[Theo]

Looks like a divided street, with a grassy/treed median down the middle.

[RummyChick]

So here is the actual video from KTLA

Backgrounds behind the car do not match as the car is in the same position throughout the video.

Okay, I’ll try again. I’ve listened several times, and it sounds like they have marbles in their mouths, with all the static and noise.

[RummyChick]

it is..but watch this entire video with a sharp eye on the background

Pic on left is view from rear of the transmission. Pic on rt. is side view of tranny and a little motor. In both, the rear is angled slightly upward. Remember, motor and tranny are upside down.

[Roccus]

In another life I hung with guys who dispatched and drove chase trucks, but that was 40 yrs. ago and I’m out of practice.

[RummyChick]

but both only have one side that has a big thing sticking out of it on and end and that big thing doesn't look the same. Sorry, don't know what it is called

[RummyChick]

So here is my question to Photography guys..

Did KTLA change the background of the news coverage or was the car moved.

The trees aren’t even the same when looking at the car from the same side.

Maybe he was drunk. They are sure pushing the story that he had drug and alcohol problems..but is that even true.

Once you free yourself from the mental tethers of viewing the US a normally functioning society, all bets are off.

One, it's entirely possible he was "drunk", in that they could have easily had him under control while administering intravenous fluids; or

Two, they simply have planted/altered the relevant records.

Two would be the easiest; as everyone is now well aware, it's not only possible to intercept, but to also edit, alter and simply fabricate any/all forms of communication.

[RummyChick]

For those that cant see what I see

around 38 second mark then go to 1:21

[RummyChick]

I can’t make out what the Mexican is trying to say in his interview. Can’t tell if he is trying to say the car was bottoming out or what.

[Carriage Hill]

That’s a transmission, and they do look different.

[Roccus]

It’s the drive shaft. #68 is end on shot, makes the drive shaft appear shorter.
It’s all perspective.

[BlueDragon]

Different motors? Hard to tell. What we are looking at for the most part are transmissions in these particular side-by-side photos. The photo on the left is possibly cropped? A wider view of that one could help.

Slow down. WHERE do the different pictures come from? Please stop bouncing all over the place...slow down enough to cite where pictures come from, what they are purported to be, etc.

In another reply you did cite "another ktla image". Then it's running breathlessly on to background images and some alleged "impossibility" concerning that. SLOW DOWN.

[RummyChick]

To even an untrained eye that doesn’t know what the heck that is..they look different.

One shot is from KTLA.

[Roccus]

I used to speak cop scanner, not Mexican

[Carriage Hill]

Watch this. It claims the cars and locations were switched. Pause it to read all the copy on the screen. Get some tinfoil, first...
