  • A video is being shared on social media that claims to show an explosion of a firefighting plane that crashed to the ground while combating wildfires in Los Angeles. Those sharing wrote, "The plane that went to help put out the fire in the city of Los Angeles, USA, burned and crashed." (sic.) What we found: We divided the video into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them. We came across an article on a Turkish website called Tele 1 which carried similar visuals. The article noted that the video was from Chile and not Los Angeles, as claimed. We, then, ran relevant keyword searches and found that Al Jazeera also uploaded the same video on their YouTube page on 16 January 2024. It noted that the crash claimed the life of the pilot and at least four people were injured. The Telegraph also uploaded this video on their YouTube in January 2024. NewsWeek reported that while the aircraft flew at a low altitude near in Central Maule, its wing hit an electrical tower, leading it to lose control and ignite as flames erupted from the damaged plane. Incidentally, a collision happened between a civilian drone with a Canadian "Super Scooper" aircraft battling the Palisades Fire in LA. However, this visual does not show that incident. Conclusion: The video showing a plane crash on a road has been falsely shared as one from Los Angeles. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
