“Visuals of the recent China plane crash”
What FACTLY found
In the first video, the plane which is on fire is the Russian Aeroflot plane at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport that caught fire after a crash landing on 05 May 2019. The second video is of a fire that happened due to an ancestor worship in a village in China. Both the videos are not related to the recent China plane crash, where a Boeing 737-800, which had 132 people on board, crashed in a mountainous area of southern China
