A video circulating on social media claiming to show a building collapse following the recent earthquake in Venezuela has been debunked as false. Fact-checking organization Fast Check has identified the footage as originating from a controlled demolition in Turkey in 2023. The video is being falsely presented as evidence of damage from the Venezuelan earthquake. This misinformation is spreading online, potentially causing unnecessary alarm and confusion. Authorities urge the public to rely on verified sources for information regarding the earthquake’s impact. The incident highlights the dangers of rapidly sharing unverified content during crisis situations. It’s crucial to confirm the authenticity of videos and images before sharing them on social media.
