In the past week, two serious planes crashed occurred in Kazakhstan and Korea, killing a large number of people. There are many social media posts about the accidents including some misleading information. This is an investigation of such social media posts.
Social Media Posts
There are many videos shared through social media claiming that they are footages from recent plane crashes.
We decided to do a fact check on this.
Fact checks
In this regard, during an inquiry conducted through Invid We Verify, it was found that this is a video made by combining old videos.
In one of the videos related to the year 2023, it is shown that this is a certain shock that occurred in an airplane at some point. Below is the Tik Tok video on social media since 2023.
Also, at the end of the video is a shock that occurred in an Indonesian plane in 2022. But the pilot has managed to land the plane safely. Here is the video that was shared through Instagram related to the situation.
It is also seen that the sound of the video shared in social media is bit different to the sound of this original video. Accordingly, it is clear that the video shared through social media has been edited.
The TikTok video above shows only a part of the video that is being shared as the South Korean plane crash. More videos are available in it. We hope to study those videos and will be updating this article accordingly.
Also, these videos have been shared for a few days before the South Korean plane crash as part of the Kazakhstan-related plane crash that happened before the South Korean plane crash. Two such videos can be accessed here and here.
However, a video that appears to be a video recorded by a passenger in the Kazakhstan plane crash is being spread around the world by well-known media organizations. The video published by the British Sunday Times can be viewed below.
