The video shows two planes nearly crashing.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the video originated from AiroDRAMAhub, whose description identifies it as a simulator video. The review says the channel creates cinematic plane-crash game videos, so the footage is fictional rather than real.

Video zeigt echten Vorfall, wie eine Mutter in einer US-amerikanischen Klasse eine LGBTQ-Flagge abreißt.

Publisher’s rating: Fehlender Kontext: Das Video ist Teil eines längeren Sketchs, die gesamte Interaktion ist gestellt.

The review says the circulating clip is an excerpt from a longer video, originally published in 2023 by a US content creator. The creator appears at the end and explains that the scene was a sketch; he later clarified that he made the video to prompt discussion.

dpaPolitics & government

Secretaris-Generaal van de Navo Rutte zei dat hij de VS persoonlijk uit de alliantie zal zetten als Trump Oekraïne aan Poetin overgeeft.

Publisher’s rating: Mark Rutte nam deze woorden niet in de mond, dat bevestigde een woordvoerder van de NAVO. Er is ook geen bron voor de bewering, die wordt gepromoot door pro-Kremlin kanalen.

The review reports that a NATO spokesperson confirmed Rutte never said these words, and that no source for the claim was provided. It traces the claim to Russian-aligned channels and notes that no reliable media reported it. The review also says the NATO treaty does not explicitly provide for suspending or expelling a member.

Video shows a five-year-old boy singing in memory of his late mother on America’s Got Talent 2024 stage.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the viral video was edited: the child was a fictional virtual avatar, while the judges’ reactions came from a 2015 X Factor UK performance by Josh Daniel, who dedicated his song to a late friend. It concludes that the video does not show a real America’s Got Talent performance by a boy singing for his mother.
