Claim: Update : Another post sharing the same video claimed that it shows Nepal airplane. The video is being shared in the context of recent Nepal plane crash near Pokhara airport. However, as explained below, the video shows Russian Aeroflot plane at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport that caught fire after a crash landing on 05 May 2019.
Fact-check: These visuals are not related to the recent plane crash in China/Nepal - FACTLY
Verdict: in the first video, the plane which is on fire is the russian aeroflot plane at moscow's sheremetyevo airport that caught fire after a crash landing on 05 may 2019. the second video is of a fire that happened due to an ancestor worship in a village in china. both the videos are not related to the recent china plane crash, where a boeing 737-800, which had 132 people on board, crashed in a mountainous area of southern china. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
