AI-GENERATED — Watch the "victims" closely. They get up and walk away seconds later.
|

On September 28, 2026, an account posted a video on X showing what it described as a plane spinning out of control on a runway, translated from Hindi as "Everyone was stunned to see the plane go out of control on the runway." The dramatic footage shows the aircraft spinning wildly across a rain-soaked tarmac while ground workers scatter to avoid it.
An AI-detection tool called Hive Moderation rated the video 73.1% likely to be AI-generated. Watching closely confirms it: several workers appear to be run over directly by the spinning plane, then emerge completely unharmed moments later, getting up and walking away as if nothing had touched them. The clip had already been traced to an earlier TikTok post from September 26, which carried its own on-screen label reading "Contains AI-generated media."
No real news outlet reported any matching incident, and a runway accident involving a plane striking multiple ground workers would be exactly the kind of story that gets immediate, widespread coverage if it had actually happened.

"Victims" get up unharmed. Workers who appear to be struck directly by the spinning plane get up and walk away seconds later with no visible injury.

An earlier upload already carried the label. The clip traces back to a September 26 TikTok post explicitly marked "Contains AI-generated media."

No real coverage exists anywhere. A runway accident this dramatic, involving a plane hitting multiple workers, would make immediate international news. None exists.

🚨 100% AI-Generated
No plane spun out of control and ran over ground workers on any runway. The clip is AI-generated, already labeled as such on an earlier upload, and the "victims" who appear to get hit simply get up and walk away unharmed seconds later.

That ‘Eye of Hurricane Polo’ Video Wasn’t Even Filmed During Hurricane Polo
|
|
A video spread on TikTok in late September 2026 claiming to show the eye of Hurricane Polo, captioned in Spanish and shared as if it were fresh footage from inside the storm. The clip is AI-generated, and it isn't even new: the same video was originally posted back on October 26, 2025, nearly a year before Hurricane Polo existed. Hive Moderation rated the footage 99.9% likely to be AI-generated. Real footage of flying through the actual eye of Hurricane Polo does exist, captured by NOAA's Aircraft Operations Center using its data-collecting planes nicknamed "Kermit" and "Miss Piggy," published on the agency's official Facebook page on September 23, 2026, and it looks nothing like the viral clip.

Today’s Skill: Watch What Happens to Anyone Who Gets ‘Hit’
Real injuries don't resolve themselves instantly on camera.

Watch what happens to anyone who gets ‘hit’
The workers in the fake plane video got up unharmed seconds after being run over. Real injuries don't resolve themselves instantly on camera.

Check if the clip is older than the event it claims to show
The fake hurricane video predated Hurricane Polo by nearly a year. A reverse video search can catch a recycled clip being passed off as breaking news.

Compare against footage from the actual agency involved
NOAA's real storm-chasing planes have their own published footage. When an official agency's real version exists, use it as your baseline for comparison.
