FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post and found the claims to be false.
Searching on Google to verify the claim, the NM team found a similar clip posted on an Instagram page, disasterstrucks1, on June 30.
The bio of the page clearly states that all its contents are AI-generated.
On closer inspection of the viral video, one frame shows a rescue worker’s neck suddenly elongating unnaturally — a clear visual distortion consistent with AI-generated imagery.
We also ran the video through Google’s SynthID detector, a tool that identifies content created using Google’s AI technology. The test confirmed that the video was created using Google AI, not recorded from a real incident.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show a large swing with its trolley broken and lying on the ground, surrounded by rescue workers, is false.
