Had to laugh out loud the other day, when they said "and it's not just
passengers smuggling goods in..." over the shot of a passenger plane
landing. Both of us watching immediately said "the crew", but it turned
out they meant "in freight shipments", and the shot of the plane was
completely out of context.

I think some of the worst editing for transport related stuff has been
in Portilos railway journeys. He'll get into one type of train, they'll do
a tracking shot of a 2nd type and he'll get off from 3rd type at the
destination with an optional interior shot of a 4th. I can't imagine if
they were doing a program involving a car they'd have someone driving off
in an astra, filling up a golf at a petrol station then tuning up in a focus
but for every other form of transport it seems continuity and accuracy doesn't
matter.
