Social media users have circulated a video claiming that it shows satellites capturing the sound of the recent Morocco earthquake from space. However, this claim is false, as the video was posted months before the earthquake occurred, according to Al Arabiya.
The video features scenes from space and starts with a calm sound before suddenly turning into static noise. The users of the video commented, stating, "Satellites are documenting the Morocco earthquake live as it happens." The video garnered thousands of shares across social media platforms, following the earthquake that struck early Saturday with a magnitude of 7, as reported by the Moroccan Scientific and Technical Research Center. This was the strongest tremor recorded in Morocco in a century, resulting in around 3,000 deaths and thousands of injured and displaced individuals.
The surprising fact is that the video is unrelated to the Morocco earthquake. According to fact-checking services, a search for the video revealed that it was posted months ago on YouTube.
