Authorities have confirmed that at least 20 people died and over a hundred were injured or burned—most of them schoolchildren—when a Bangladesh air force jet crashed today (July 21) in the Milestone School area of Diabari, Uttara, Dhaka. In response, a video has circulated on social media with the caption, “How the accident happened.”

The circulated video shows a plane crashing into a building labeled “MILESTTONE COLLEGE.” That is, the claim is that the video shows the actual crash of the plane into the Milestone School & College building on July 21.

Fact-check

Rumor Scanner Team’s investigation reveals that the viral video does not show the actual crash at Milestone School & College. Rather, it is a fake video created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

No credible news outlet or trusted source has confirmed the existence of this video. In reality, if such a video were recorded during the plane crash, it would have been broadcast by mainstream media.

Moreover, observing the video reveals slightly unnatural human gestures and surroundings, a common trait of AI-generated content.

In addition, in the bottom right corner of the video, a watermark labeled “Veo” appears, along with a tag indicating the content was AI-generated. Veo is an advanced AI tool from Google that can generate realistic 8-second videos from text prompts. This specific video is also 8 seconds long.

Furthermore, while the correct English spelling of Milestone College is “Milestone College,” the video shows it as “Milesttone College”—with an extra ‘t’.

All these indicators confirm that the circulated video was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Conclusion

A video created with AI was falsely circulated on social media claiming to show the actual plane crash at Milestone School & College. This claim is false.
