Who doesn’t like to look out the window of a moving train and see the changing scenes? The changing scenery along the way always gives a special experience. Now imagine, if the same view is seen from the sky, how amazing it would be. Recently, a photographer tried to do something similar and shared a video made with a drone on Instagram. The video was so attractive that it got more than a hundred million views in just one day.
But the twist in the story came when this video started making waves on Instagram and people started trying to fly the drone in the train themselves, believing that it was all real. Seeing the increasing misunderstandings, the creator had to make another video and tell the truth. He clarified that what people are seeing is not completely real, but is the result of AI editing. The photographer specifically warned that doing such shooting from the train is neither easy nor safe.
What is the truth of this video?
This entire matter is of 28th November. A creator named Vivek with the Instagram handle @viveksatpute29 made an amazing video using an FPV drone. At first glance, it seems as if they have flown the drone out of the window of a moving train and it is recording the scene while traveling in the air along with the train. Seeing the smooth movement and details of the video, no one doubts that AI might have played a role in it.
This was the reason why this clip spread like lightning on the internet. Millions of people shared it and within no time it reached 165 million views. The number of likes also reached around 1.5 crores. Thousands of people kept praising the creativity and skill of the photographer in the comment section. Many users wrote that they had never seen a drone shot of such quality before.

But as the video reached more people, the problem also started increasing. Many spectators started planning to fly a drone in a real train, believing that it was technically possible and safe. When Vivek saw that the enthusiasm among the people was going in the wrong direction, he immediately made another video and clarified the whole thing.

Vivek clearly said that he recorded some scenes in the park with a drone, then matched them with the footage of the train in such a way that the viewer felt that the drone was actually launched from the train. With the help of AI, both the scenes fit so well that the video appeared absolutely real. He told that nowadays editing and AI tools are growing so fast that sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between original and edited content, and the same thing was proved in this video also. He requested his viewers not to immediately try to do similar experiments after watching any viral video. Sometimes things that seem easy on the screen can be very dangerous in reality. Flying drones in high-speed environments like trains is not only prohibited but can also cause accidents.
