Posted on X by @WireSpy92 · Shown as an embedded post · Source
There was a real incident on the flight. This video is not from it: the shouting comes from a 2017 road-rage clip.
Based on 2 strong and 1 supporting pieces of evidence.
What we found
The clip appears to show two pilots shouting at each other in a cockpit. It was posted on X on 1 October 2026 with the caption 'Leaked Video from FlightDubai', a day after a real incident on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv in which the co-pilot was reported to have attacked the captain; the plane landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Lead Stories found that the shouting in the clip comes from a viral road-rage video from 2017 that had nothing to do with planes. It also found no news report of any leaked cockpit video, and an AI detection tool rated the pictures as very likely made with AI. When a 'leaked video' appears within hours of a big news story, check whether any news outlet has reported it before you trust it.
