“A video shows an out-of-control Emirates flight engulfed in flames, crashing onto a highway.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is a simulation from a game and does not depict a real incident. It was uploaded by a TikTok user who frequently posts plane crash videos from GTA 5. While it is true that a Piper PA-31A aircraft crashed onto a highway on 12 December 2024 along the service road of a highway in Victoria, Texas, this video is unrelated to that incident.
