It has since been viewed more than 8,000 times. The Indonesian-language post translates to English as: THEY ARE SCREAMING, CALLING THE LORD'S NAME ...

The footage was also shared alongside a similar claim and viewed over 7,000 times on YouTube and TikTok . The video has also appeared with a similar claim in English here on Facebook, and in Chinese here on YouTube and here on Weibo.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ALGUMARA (@marapi_singgalang) Translated from Indonesian language to English, the post reads in part: Deep condolences for the incident experienced by @lionairgroup plane #lionair #lionjt610. This is a video taken by myself on a flight that made me so traumatised I no longer want to travel by plane. At that time the #lionair Flight JT 353 flight, was supposed to leave at 10.30 a.m. had to be delayed until 12.30 p.m. And the travel time from Padang to Jakarta should be 1 hour 40 minutes. It became so long, 4 hours. Due to turbulence, engine shutdown etc. Tha caption is referring to the deadly Lion Air crash on October 29, 2018, which AFP has reported on here . The video in the misleading post has been flipped horizontally from the original footage.

He explained that he had posted the video because the Lion Air crash reminded him of his own terrifying experience aboard another Lion Air flight. -- Previously misused -- But the footage was also misused in 2018 and circulated alongside false claims that it showed the final moments before the Lion Air Flight JT 610 accident. AFP debunked that false claim at the time, here . David Ditama, who owns the @marapi_singgalang Instagram account, told AFP in 2018 that the video was taken when he was flying Lion Air flight JT 353 from Padang, in West Sumatra province, to Jakarta on December 11, 2017.
