schema:text	A video, which shows a structure collapsing on a busy junction, is being shared on the internet linking it to the recent earthquake that rocked Tajikistan on 23 February. Who shared it?: K24, a television station in Kenya, has shared the clip in one of its videos. Several social media users have also uploaded it. How did we find out?: At first, we noticed the CCTV timestamp and the word "Tripureshwor" written on the viral clip. Tripureshwor is a village in the Bagmati zone in Nepal. Taking this forward, we performed a keyword search such as "Tripureshwor 2015 earthquake." This led us to an extended version of the viral clip uploaded on a verified YouTube channel called 'WildFilmsIndia'. It was uploaded on 14 February 2020 and was titled, "Tripureshwor Chowk south view, Kathmandu, Nepal: Gorkha Earthquake 2015." At around the 1:09 mark, one can see the viral clip playing. News reports of the incident: A report in NDTV published in April 2015 said that a quake of 7.9 magnitude had rattled Nepal, destroying several buildings and temples across the country. Geolocating the place: Using Tripureshwor chowk as a reference, we searched on Google Maps and found a similar setting with the help of Google's street view. The available view is from June 2014 and shows some similarities. What about the earthquake in Tajikistan?: An earthquake of 6.8 magnitude hit eastern part of the country on Thursday, 23 February, and tremors were also felt in China. Conclusion: The video is old and is unrelated to the recent earthquake in Tajikistan. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
