Viral video represents another accident, not the one that occurred in Rio de Janeiro this Sunday (14) g1 A publication is circulating on social media showing a video of a collision between two helicopters near a forested area; the caption claims that the images are from the accident that killed six people in Rio de Janeiro, this Sunday (14). It's #FAKE. Fake Stamp (Horizontal) g1 🔴 What’s the post like?

The collision involved different aircraft models than those involved in today's accident and caused the death of ten people during a rehearsal for a Navy parade (read more details below) Today's accident left six people dead, in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the Southwest Zone of Rio de Janeiro, this Sunday morning (14).
