  • FACT CHECK: Facebook Image Shows 2020 Ukrainian Plane Crash, Not Linked To Malawi An image shared on Facebook purports to show a recent plane crash that killed Malawi Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima and nine other people. Verdict: False The image shows a 2020 crash involving a Ukrainian military plane, according to a news article from China.org.cn. The photo was taken by the Chinese news agency, Xinhua, according to the same article. Fact Check: The plane carrying Chilima and nine other people crashed with no survivors after the plane’s radar signal was lost, USA Today reported. Following the fatal crash, a funeral service was held for Chilima which “tens of thousands” attended and included a Catholic mass, according to BBC. The Facebook post purports to show a recent plane crash that killed Chilima and nine other people. The photo shows plane wreckage near a forest with a green circle in the right corner. “BREAKING NEWS: Malawi Vice President Saulos Chilima and 9 others confirmed dead in a plane crash. The plane has been found and all 10 on board are dead!,” the post’s caption reads in part. The claim is false, however. Check Your Fact performed a reverse image search and found the image referenced in a September 2020 news article from China.org.cn discussing a crash involving a Ukrainian military plane. The aircraft had 27 on board during flight training near Kharkiv, the report indicated. The photo was taken by the Chinese news agency, Xinhua, according to the same article. The website can be accessed via the URL on the photo, news.cn. Likewise, Check Your Fact did not find the image included in any recent credible news reports about the crash that killed Chilima and nine other people. In fact, the opposite is true. On June 17, Reuters reported the image showed the Ukrainian military plane crash that occurred in 2020. Additionally, the government of Malawi has not shared the image via its website or its associated social media accounts.
