Voor de kust voor Valencia enkele dagen voor de overstromingen was dit schip, een drijvende energiecentrale, te zien die het weer kan beïnvloeden.

Publisher’s rating: Het schip is de Onur Sultan Powership van Karadeniz, een drijvende elektriciteitscentrale. De videobeelden dateren van een maand voor de overstromingen in Valencia en werden gefilmd in Gran Canaria. Het schip is niet gelinkt aan weermanipulatie.

The video showed the Onur Sultan, a floating power plant operated by Karadeniz, but it was filmed in Gran Canaria about a month before the Valencia floods. The review found no link between the ship and weather manipulation.
