Overview

• The short video shows the rear half of a model aircraft lodged in a building and a smaller plane sliding along a rope toward it, evoking the June 12 Ahmedabad disaster.
• Posts claim the display is in Chakpur, Jangipara in Hooghly, West Bengal, but The Week and Hindustan Times note they cannot independently verify the location.
• The clip has drawn heavy criticism on X, where it amassed more than 200,000 views within hours and commenters called the display disrespectful to victims’ families.
• Free Press Journal reports organisers framed the theme as a tribute to victims and first responders, a justification many social media users rejected.
• Articles referencing the June 12 crash cite differing fatality counts, reflecting inconsistencies in reporting that add to sensitivities around the depiction.
