This misinformation contributes to public confusion regarding the actual situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Component 2 :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilising the Invid We Verify tool, it was established that another video segment was extracted from a longer video titled &#8220;Giant Monster Attacks City,&#8221; uploaded to YouTube in July 2019. The original content is entirely unrelated to the recent Dubai floods, indicating a misrepresentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Giant Monster Attacks City - 7\/17\/19\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iOCwfaO7Ny0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contextual Discrepancy: While viral video segments have been verified as unrelated, not all components could be definitively traced to their origins. This poses a challenge in providing a comprehensive fact-check for the entire video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Component 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another part of the viral video was found to have been posted several months earlier, back in October 2023, titled \u201cMonstrous Tornado Approaching&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/tornado\">#tornado<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/lasalle\">#lasalle<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/montreal\">#montreal<\/a>\u201d, as seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Monstrous Tornado Approaching  #tornado #lasalle #montreal\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4H0iZLo4YY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Component 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A short clip showing a tree being knocked down by the roots during a storm was also found to be unrelated to the current conditions in Dubai. The footage was reported from S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9, Brazil, from April 2023, as reported <a href=\"https:\/\/g1.globo.com\/mg\/zona-da-mata\/noticia\/2023\/01\/04\/video-vento-derruba-arvore-pela-raiz-que-por-pouco-nao-atinge-carro-em-mg.ghtml\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we also noticed that some components of the viral videos are indeed connected with the real incidents in Dubai, like the one below, which shows footage of Dubai Airport being flooded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F9News%2Fvideos%2F999625415095377%2F&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=380&#038;t=0\" width=\"380\" height=\"591\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verification Challenges: Despite diligent efforts, a few other smaller video components within the viral segment remain unverifiable.
