While it has been widely circulated on social media claiming to show a "very close-up shot" of the recent Anak Krakatau volcanic eruption, a fact-check by India Today confirmed that the source footage was completely created using artificial intelligence.

Real, not AI

Anak Volcano.

Messed up all flights in 5 major airports.

Sept 06, 2026

@Cripple Yes, the volcano eruption was real, but that does not verify the validity of the footage. Per Claudette: Anak Krakatau did erupt on September 4, 2026 in the Sunda Strait, producing sustained volcanic activity, ash, gas and falling pumice. AI-generated fakes are real: Tempo's fact-check team found a viral video claiming to show the eruption, filmed from a ferry, contained indications of AI-generated elements, and the geological agency confirmed the footage doesn't match ground conditions and is a hoax. A separate close-up "eruption near a town" video was also debunked — fact-checkers noted Anak Krakatau sits on an uninhabited island, making a nearby town impossible, so that viral clip is fake. Misdated footage is real, but your attribution is off: the fact-checked old footage is from October 2018 and was reported by the Washington Post on October 29, 2018, showing volcanic lightning, with a related clip taken by Richard Roscoe, a UK-based photographer, and distributed by Storyful — not Martin Rietze/Newsflare. It's possible other outlets separately fact-checked a Rietze/Newsflare clip, but I couldn't verify that specific claim, so I'd treat that detail as unconfirmed rather than repeat it as fact.
yahoo. I could not verify the "El Salvador storm footage misattributed to the eruption" claim in search results — flag that one as unconfirmed too. Flight numbers — close but not quite: The eruption triggered a five-day aviation shutdown, closing eight airports, cancelling or delaying 1,558 flights, and stranding more than 270,000 passengers across western Indonesia by the cumulative Monday count. The 170,000 figure was the Sunday-evening tally, not the final one — roughly 170,000 passengers were affected by September 6, while the cumulative total rose to more than 270,000 by September 7. So "1,558 flights / 170,000 passengers" was accurate as a snapshot but is now outdated; current reporting cites 270,000+. Bottom line: the core claim — that several viral eruption videos are AI-generated or misattributed while genuine drone/CCTV footage and major flight disruption are real — checks out. The specific sourcing (Rietze/Newsflare) and the El Salvador storm claim aren't things I could confirm, and the passenger count has since risen from 170,000 to 270,000+. This looks exactly like the "close-up eruption near a town" footage fact-checkers debunked — houses, a utility pole, cars, and a hedge-lined street sit right in front of the lava fountains, which is the giveaway. Anak Krakatau sits on a small uninhabited island in the Sunda Strait, so there's no residential neighborhood anywhere near its cone. That geography mismatch is precisely why LatestLY's fact-check flagged this type of clip as fake. A few other things point the same way:

The vegetation (palm trees, tropical foliage) and suburban housing style look more like Hawaii or a similar Pacific location than the Sunda Strait and the lighting and lava-fountain shapes have that slightly too-clean, symmetrical look common in AI-generated eruption clips.
