Strictly’s James Jordan thinks this is real and the entire internet is putting him right (well, most of it)
James Jordan isn’t on Strictly Come Dancing anymore which is a shame because if he was someone could ask him about this.
The swivel-hipped hardbody took to Twitter to send his good wishes to his friends in Hong Kong as they bear the brunt of Typhoon Mangkhut.
A lovely gesture no doubt, it was just the clip that accompanied it that raised eyebrows.
‘Hoping all my friends in Hong Kong are safe…. And all who have been effected by the terrifying typhoon
This pilot needs a medal or something. True hero saving everyone’
And here it is …

I think so mate, I used to live there and my friends have been sending me loads of horrific footage
Some live from there apartments 🙈
They said the worst has past now.
Hope you are well mate!— James Jordan (@The_JamesJordan) September 16, 2018
Please validate your source before posting. This has been sent around for hours and is completely fabricated. All arrivals to HK were cancelled today.

Was taken from Times News International
And I’ll post whatever I like on twitter….. and there’s nothing you can do about it

Except, er …
James you are aware that this is a fake ? A computer generated model and a video from another event blended together. Complete and utter rubbish that an aircraft could do that.

I’m amazed (and worried) by the number of people, even some so called avgeeks, who are still asking if this video is real!

Don't let truth and logic get in the way of viral clickbait… 🙄

This is fake. That should go without saying. And the original poster should be ashamed not to have deleted it. https://t.co/f7CbOMYTOS

Everyone listen to Margaret.
Sorry, but this is fake. Large aircraft can't do that sort of manoeuvre, there's too much mass inertia to accelerate and even trying to do so would remove the wings and tailplane. It would have fallen to bits. It's why nimble aircraft are built small and light.

Dear God! There is being a pilot and there is this…… https://t.co/pHZfYNZDjJ

No, Alastair, no! You do the news and everything.
This is video — a CGI fake from last year (https://t.co/MMBOa76VQt) — was posted to Facebook last week by a page called "Times News International," which wrongly claimed it was footage from the typhoon. That post has been viewed 10 million times and had 150,000 shares. https://t.co/QSWfwhX0oa
