A video shared on social media (here, here, and here) shows two planes nearly crashing, with viewers applauding the pilots for avoiding the accident. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: The video shows two planes nearly crashing.
Fact: The original video was uploaded on 4 November 2024, by the YouTube channel AiroDRAMAhub, which explicitly mentions in the description that it is a simulator video. The channel’s bio indicates that it specializes in creating cinematic plane crash simulation videos. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On performing the reverse image search using the keyframes of the viral video, we found a similar video on a YouTube channel AiroDRAMAhub on 4 November 2024 with the title “Extremely brave pilot save both airplanes at airport.” The description says that it’s a simulator video.
Upon further investigation, we discovered that the channel shares video games footage, and the videos are fictional. The channel’s bio clearly states: “Welcome to AiroDRAMAhub, your destination for thrilling cinematic plane crash game videos! Join us as we dive into the adrenaline-pumping world of aviation disasters portrayed in video games. From heart-stopping moments to jaw-dropping graphics, we bring you the ultimate cinematic gaming experience.”
The comparison between the two videos can be seen below. More such videos posted on the channel can be seen here, here, and here.
To sum up, a simulator video showing two planes narrowly avoiding a crash is shared as real footage
