@cbarbermd This looks kind of fake:

* someone has their tray down with an opened soda can before flight (who does that?)
* ambiguous flight attendant outfit
* Old seats: no personal entertainment system
* 'professional' camera work with zooms
* large cockpit wall without any equipment or exit signage
* camera person exits the plane to join the detainee outside the airplane
* no safety information in the seat pockets

@riedlr @cbarbermd the plane itself just looks odd, not the normal fittings I'm used to seeing on planes, and as you pointed out the flight attendant outfit is nonstandard. The pacing of the altercation is also odd, with the agent being more theaterically animated than how real humans usually get. The agent returning to pick a fight with the camera person is also odd but not impossible

Zoom can be done in post processing, and it could be multiple videos spliced together.

I'm leaning towards this being a skit, maybe a training video that someone decided to leak as a fake

@riedlr @cbarbermd

agree, this is fake (i used to be a frequent flyer)

the FA's "uniform" is like... just not right

@riedlr @cbarbermd

This account posts a lot of junk.

My current personal note for it is "unreliable, x2".

I think it's time for me to mute it.

@riedlr @cbarbermd

So, I came here on a boost from @mastodonmigration , so I'm asking you, mastodonmigration, please stop boosting this account.

Everything else I've seen you do is a great service to Mastodon, and to people trying to fix our country. But this account keeps posting deceptive stuff - check out the comments here. I don't think uninformed rage-bait is good for what we want to achieve.

Please reconsider. Thanks 🙏.

@jztusk @riedlr @cbarbermd

Appreciate the heads up. Will look into it.

@jztusk @riedlr @cbarbermd

Indeed. Can not find any independent corroboration. Unboosted. TY.
