The video depicts a real incident of an e-bike battery exploding in an elevator, but it's not from January 2026 as the timestamp suggests. This footage originally comes from May 2021 in Chengdu, China, where an e-scooter caught fire in a crowded elevator, injuring several people including a child. The event led to widespread discussions and bans on e-bikes in elevators across parts of China. The clip has been circulating online for years, often with misleading claims (like blaming magnetic fields or other pseudoscience), but fact-checks confirm it's authentic CCTV footage. The 2026 date appears to be edited in—likely via simple video manipulation or AI overlay—to make it seem current, which is why some replies to the post speculate it's fully AI-generated. However, the core footage and explosion are genuine, not fabricated by AI.
