A few days after the plane accident, only a few details are known about how this accident could have happened. However, the facts available so far are still a mystery.
However, what has already emerged is the first fake about flight MU5735
As Reuters reports, a flight simulation video with a false claim was shared on social media, in this case Twitter. This is what the final moments of China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735 are intended to show. The video itself has been viewed over 200,000 times!
The creator writes on Twitter: “ A Boeing 737 just crashed in southern China. This was one of the last moments recorded on the plane. maybe the only moment. Viewers' discretion advised. #planecrash #Boeing #China ”
Twitter
This is a false report.
The video is a simulation created based on an Ethiopian Airlines crash. ( HERE )
The operator, who had previously published other simulations of various aircraft disasters, uploaded the video three years ago, more precisely on March 10, 2019.
From the video description you can see that this video is a simulation.
“THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, THIS IS ONLY A SIMULATED FLIGHT CRASH FOR ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES FLIGHT ET302.”

Conclusion:
The above video, which is currently making the rounds on social media, does not show the final moments of the plane accident on March 21, 2022 of flight MU5735 in China, but a simulation of an Ethiopian Airlines crash from 2019.
