A still of the 'horrible' aircraft-turbine accident video shared by ABN Andhra Jyothi (Video below) |
Telugu TV channel ABN Andhra Jyothi got into trouble with trolls after it shared a fake video of an airport worker getting sucked in by a running turbine of a parked aircraft.
The video was shared on Wednesday and titled Horrible accident, Man Died In Wings of Airplane (Sic).
The visual shows a parked aircraft with maintenance crew milling around. A worker walks past the turbine and is sucked in. He is destroyed instantly and all you can see from outside is a flash of fire emanating from the rotating blades.
ABN Andhra Jyothi started operations in 2009 and describes itself as the no 1 Telugu news channel.
After its social media team failed to spot the obviously fake video, they had to suffer nasty comments from trolls.
Here is a sample of responses the video provoked on YouTube.
