Original review summary

FACTLY reports that the video was available online by 26 December 2024, before the Air India crash in Ahmedabad on 12 June 2025, so it could not be footage from that crash. The review says it could not independently verify whether the video was from the Azerbaijan Airlines crash near Aktau.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the footage was uploaded to Instagram on 26 December 2024, before the Ahmedabad crash. [S1]

The separate Azerbaijan Airlines crash near Aktau occurred on 25 December 2024; the review does not confirm that the viral video shows that crash. [S1]
