In recent days, a video purportedly showing one of the engines of an A330-800neo Uganda aircraft on fire at Mumbai Airport has been circulating on social media. This video has caused considerable alarm among passengers, aviation enthusiasts, and the general public. However, it is essential to set the record straight: the video is entirely FAKE.
The misleading footage, which appears to depict a dramatic engine fire, has been debunked by aviation authorities and the airline involved. A thorough review of the actual incident footage reveals no such event occurred. The airline has reiterated that safety is their top priority and reassured the public that there was no engine fire or any other dangerous situation on their aircraft.
The airline acknowledges the incidence as fake.
Factjaja uploaded the suspicious video to InVid, which then extracted keyframes at intervals throughout the video. This provided a series of still images for detailed analysis.
By systematically uploading the video, extracting keyframes, performing reverse image searches, analyzing metadata, and conducting forensic analysis, I was able to uncover significant evidence that the video was fake.
In conclusion, while the fake video has momentarily stirred concerns, the reality is that no engine fire occurred, and the A330-800neo continues to operate safely. The incident serves as a reminder to verify the authenticity of online content before accepting it as truth and sharing it further.
