Appreciate the information. I found the announcers voice to be very somber and appropriate (almost as if he were narrating a funeral). Still, good to know it’s only a test mule.

(But personally, it reminded me of the scene in Goldfinger where they crushed the Lincoln and, unrealistically, put it in the bed of the Falcon/Ranchero.)

So, the translation:

The train is leaving now.

This pre-series model (“Erlkönig”) will now turn into the sculpture
called “Compression”.

“…now we could let it down like this…”

With this unhooking it becomes very evident that time passes in only
one direction, irreversibly.

“Good!”

This is obviously a very uncommon tool for use in sculpturing. Or an
unusual way of creating sculptures.

It is obviously also fascinating to create a sculpture in such a
really short time, one that big, such complex, so strong. So loaded.

The path of all earthly doesn’t mean that something disappears
absolutely, but that it reappears in different function or form, or
at a different place, such as here in the art house in Bregenz. A car
doesn’t just consist of materials like glass and metal, but also of
fluids, oil, fuel, coolant. Window washer detergent.

You know I don’t mind the bashing but others may try to put you into the same compactor as the 997
