FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the video and found that it is not real.

While checking Facebook for a similar post, we found that the same video was uploaded on Facebook in October 2020 with the caption, “Kereta Api Turun dari Langit (Game Only).”

Translation of the caption: Train Down from the Sky (Game Only)

We then used that caption as the keyword and ran a search.

The search led us to a YouTube video uploaded with the same title in August 2020 by a verified channel Dendi Komara Railfans ID.

“Name of Game: Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019,” the description of the video read.

When we checked the about section of Dendi Komara Railfans ID, we found that they produce videos of train simulation.

Hence, from the above fact check, it is clear that the video is not real but a simulation video.
