Emirates has denounced “alarming” videos of a plane crash circulating on social media as “fabricated” and “untrue”. Videos on TikTok and X/Twitter of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft on fire and crash landing appear to be content generated by AI of the Emirates fleet.

The airline has contacted social media platforms "to remove the video or make clear that it is digitally created footage to avoid false and alarming information."

Emirates has called out social media platforms for not acting quicker to remove a video showing a fake plane crash. The video, which appears to be computer-generated, shows a fake Emirates plane crash in Abu Dhabi.

Social media platforms with AI-created videos circulating depicting an Emirates flight crashing have forced the airline to speak out on the issue.
