What is going viral

Investigation
Vishvas News first used online tools available on the Internet to find out the truth about the viral video. We extracted some screengrabs of this video by uploading the viral video to the InVID tool. On searching these keyframes on Google reverse image, we found a video uploaded on 2 May 2020. It also included footage from the viral video. The description read that this is only in the flight simulation. This situation is not real!
Which means the video is not original. This is just a flight simulation, that is, it has been made with the help of the computer.
Continuing the investigation, Vishvas News contacted cyber security expert Sunny Vaghela. We shared the viral video with him. He told us that the viral video is fake. There are many such software on the Internet, with the help of which such videos can be made.
We did the social scanning of Facebook user Shahrukh Rafiq and found that the user is a resident of Haryana. He has more than four thousand Facebook friends.
