We’ve all seen the video from a YouTube livestream that captured the moment that container ship hit the Key Bridge. But have you seen the “alternate angle”? The video above has been shared widely, claiming to reveal a newly discovered camera angle that shows the truth of explosions on the bridge.

The idea seems to have first been spread by an account called Cackenbools but it’s since been deleted. However, plenty of other accounts are still spreading the fake information.

In reality, the video is from 2022 and shows the Crimea Bridge over the Kerch Strait. We know this because plenty of news outlets at the time covered it at the time and 2022 isn’t exactly ancient history. But that hasn’t stopped incredibly stupid people from sharing this video as something captured from the Key Bridge in Maryland.
