This took place on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island NY. Many of the comments relate to how the person videotaping should have warned the driver.

Remember if you are using professional movers, any box that you pack will be marked on the inventory as PBO (Packed By Owner). If there is no visible damage on the outside of the box any mover’s insurance company will reject the claim. Even if you hired another professional mover or the items are brand new in the box, the insurance company will can claim that the item could have been improperly packed or broken beforehand. So for high value items it may make sense to have the mover pack these items. If the pictures are smaller sized they can be packed in a 1.5 small, 3.0 medium, 4.5 large box, or 6.0 extra large...
