One netizen wrote:
“From what I heard on the radio station in Rio Grande do Sul, the balloon descended close to the ground and the pilot instructed [passengers] to jump, but then it went up again. 14 survivors and 8 dead.”
Another weighed in with suspicions of the report’s authenticity:
“Analyze this news and update me if it is fake or true!” they wrote, asking Grok, X’s AI mechanism, to check if the story was real.
