Mounting Death Toll!

The death toll of the horrible earthquake in Myanmar has reached 1,644 people. 3,408 more are injured - these are the most recent numbers.

Rescue works continued overnight despite multiple aftershocks. The number of dead and injured could rise as the rubble is removed.

Deepest condolences to all the victims and everyone affected by this tragedy.

How do you come to that conclusion?

The artefacts seem to be more a quality / file size issue. The whole vid is just 8.8 mb in size.

I think it's way easier to fly around with a drone than to even bother making an AI vid.

If anyone cares, I'm putting a screenshot here for a reverse picture search.

@martin_fff @Free_Press

Thanks for the answer.

I'm still not convinced.
This is a 10 sec vid in a file size smaller than a word document.

I find it absolutely plausible for people to not be moving for 10 seconds. Especially when they are only tiny dark spots.

Twitter on the other hand is a disinformation bullshit platform that I don't trust shit.

@martin_fff @Free_Press

ok, I watched the original 15 sec video on Twitter now, and I think I get the problem:

It seems that someone took an authentic drone video - played it in slo-mo and put a more dramatic fire in the background before publishing it.

Can see why some people question the whole video as result.

@berlinfokus @martin_fff @Free_Press Can we stop acting news sources that publish material that has been significantly altered are better because they're here and not on Twitter?

@funkylab @martin_fff @Free_Press

Nobody did that.

I don't know why you are saying this.

to clarify this some more:

I said is a platform that can't be trusted

that doesn't mean that every account there is lying

but "because someone on twitter said so" is a non-argument for me

if the info of that "someone" proves to be correct I'm adjusting my opinion, twitter or not

if disinformation is spread on it is still disinformation & will be called out eventually

by a community

whereas in twitter there's a lying AI
