  • [Trigger warning: Disturbing visuals of fire. Viewer discretion is advised.] A video showing thick plumes of smoke and massive fire setting multiple cars ablaze is going viral as a recent visual from Cairo, Egypt. The claim further states that this fire started while a plane was landing and resulted in approximately 1,500 deaths. How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the viral video on Google and this led us to a YouTube video shared by Global News, a Canadian Global Television Network. This was published on 15 July 2020 and it matched with the viral clip. The description stated that this massive fire broke out in Egypt's Shuqair-Mostorod crude oil pipeline and injured at least 12 people. Taking a cue, we performed a relevant keyword search on Google using 'Egypt Cairo pipeline fire' and came across a report from Reuters published on 15 July 2020. It stated that 17 people were injured in the massive fire that broke out after a leak of oil from the Shuqair-Mostorod pipeline in a Cairo suburb on 14 July 2020. It also added that according to the petroleum ministry, the pipeline ran along a motorway and a spark caused by passing cars ignited crude that was leaking from the pipe. Conclusion: An old video of a massive fire that broke out in Cairo, Egypt is going viral as a recent one. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
