Does a real video show the take-off of a "white mega plane" with several decks between the cockpit and the main cabin? No, that's not true: The clip was created using artificial intelligence and an AI detection tool determined that the video was 99.6% "likely to be AI-generated." In addition, an aircraft designed like a skyscraper with wings would not be able to fly under the laws of aerodynamics. There are many structural abnormalities with the plane.
The claim appeared in a post and video (archived here) by the @Crazymoments01 account on X on June 8, 2026. It read:
The massive white mega plane is taking off like a flying skyscraper! 😱
This is what a screenshot of the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

AI detection
The Hive Moderation AI-Generated Content Detection tool concluded that the video -- which includes real footage but fake context and an AI-generated voiceover -- was 99.6% "likely to be AI-generated":

AI indicators
A close look at the image below reveals several signs that it was generated using AI:
- The plane has a different number of engines on each wing. The wing circled in yellow has one engine, while the wing outlined in red has two.
- The aircraft's landing gear design makes little sense. The front landing gear, underneath the cockpit, would never touch the ground unless the plane tipped forward, raising the tail almost straight into the air. The remaining landing gear is clustered near the middle of the aircraft. That arrangement would make the plane unstable and likely to tip to one side or the other, especially since there is no landing gear under the wings to provide additional support.
- The skyscraper-like section of the plane appears to have balconies (green arrow). It is difficult to imagine a practical reason for passengers to be outside the aircraft while it is in flight. In addition, balconies would create drag, making the aircraft less aerodynamic. Even without the balconies, the tall upright section would act like a sail, increasing wind resistance and making takeoff much more difficult. The force of the air could cause the aircraft to pitch backward or become unstable.

Not in the news
Lead Stories searched Google News (archived here) and Yahoo! News (archived here) and did not find any matching reports for "mega plane," "taking off," and "flying skyscraper." Had such a unique plane been developed, there likely would have been widespread news coverage.
