Nick Waters, a digital image analysis expert at Bellingcat, an investigative organization, can't see a boat in the image either. DW's fact-checking team found no evidence of a boat at the time of the explosion. Here for example, people allege that a boat is recognizable in slow motion. Many other users on social media also used the video clip to claim a boat caused the explosion. However, it's not possible to make out what exactly caused the water to move because just a second later, the explosion obscures the view. At 00:03 in the video, a wave-like movement is visible on the water. The video posted in the tweet is surveillance footage of the Crimea bridge showing the car bridge from the direction of Kerch on the right side of the image. So writes this Twitter user, among others: "It's now clear that this explosion didn't come from the so-called kamikaze truck but from an underwater drone or a small boat filled with explosives." Some say the cause of the explosion was not on, but rather under, the bridge.Ĭlaim: Footage from a surveillance camera allegedly shows a boat under the Crimea bridge just seconds before the explosion. Only four days after the explosion on the Crimea bridge, Russian state media such as RIA Novosti, citing the FSB intelligence service, published a false tip-off of who the perpetrators were, which caused Russian investigators to be ridiculed. The truck being searched in the screenshot is said to have caused the explosion on the Crimean bridge, according to the FSB Image: FSB/Tass/dpa/picture alliance As such, it is clear that the video and the X-ray show two different trucks. Additionally, the X-ray image doesn't have a grill on the side between the two sets of tires that are visible on the truck in the surveillance video. The spare wheel towards the end of the trailer is also in a different position in each image. The truck in the surveillance video has a total of three axels, while the truck in the X-ray image has only two. In the X-ray image, the second wheel on the front right is missing. The most striking discrepancy between the two vehicles is the different number of wheels, or axles. The truck in the X-ray image isn't identical with the truck in the surveillance video: it has a different number of axles, the spare wheel is in a different position and it's lacking a grille on the side. The image, according to Russian media citing the FSB, is allegedly an X-ray of the truck carrying the explosives hidden among pallets loaded with rolls of film. The video which is allegedly surveillance footage, shows the search of a truck at a customs post in Taman, Russia. This difference is obvious if you compare a screenshot from the video alongside the X-ray image (shown below). The truck in the X-ray photo isn't identical with the truck in the video widely accepted as showing the vehicle responsible for the blast. An X-ray image of the truck is said to show its explosive cargo. Investigators with Russia's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service (FSB) claim Ukraine's military intelligence agency, known as HUR, is responsible for the blast and provided what they allege is proof: a suspicious truck.Ĭlaim: "A video shows the inspection of a truck carrying an explosive device,” Russian news agency, RIA Novosti reported, citing the FSB intelligence agency. Some reports purport to show the perpetrators of the Crimea bridge explosion, which Russia has classified as a terrorist attack. But some of these are old or manipulated, even fooling media organizations. Images and videos of the blast have been going viral since then. The bridge connects Russia with the city of Kerch in Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. An explosion damaged the Kerch Bridge earlier this week.
