  • FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show A Shark Swimming In A Sydney Train Station In July 2022? An image shared on Facebook purportedly shows a shark swimming in a flooded Sydney subway station. Verdict: False The image is digitally edited. The original photo is from 2014 and does not feature a shark. Fact Check: Residents in low-lying suburbs of Sydney, Australia were urged to evacuate following floods triggered by heavy rainfall, according to Reuters. Some areas were hit by as much as 35o millimeters of rain since July 2, the outlet reported. The Facebook image, garnering over 170 reactions, appears to show a shark swimming in a flooded subway station as a man in a yellow jacket looks on. “Sydney aquarium staff on their way to deal with this at a Sydney train station today,” the post’s caption claims. The image is digitally edited. A reverse image search revealed an unedited version of the photo first appeared in a 2014 article from the Daily Mail. Notably, there is no shark visible in the picture.
