We don’t know. They can fake videos of everything now. They can even use AI to copy someone’s voice and say all kinds making their lips match.
Governments can use green screen technology like Disney use for the Mandalorian to do some propaganda for the Ukraine narrative.

Yes, but its not that new... This laughably fake tomato-headed Zelensky clip did the rounds last year.

Cripes! That's going to ratchet up the general level of paranoia on NACA by a notch or two.

And the moon landings were filmed in a back lot in Hollywood

Yes, and the only reason Apollo 13 was a failure was because when they launched the rocket, Lovell, Hayes and Swigart went for a burger in a 1960 Ford Courier that broken down and locked them in, so they had to black out the windows and film it from a McDonald's car park and make up shït to keep up the lie to public. Hence the "disaster" was born. I hear Tom Hanks did alright from it...

tragic story , the family are hurting . However these things should never be on the road without the usual licensing , for MC/vehicles .

So the family not only let them ride around on an illegal motorbike putting their neighbours at risk, they encouraged it by buying the thing for them, yet it's somehow the fault of the police when they crash it and kill themselves. Sound like candidates for a Darwin award.

Except the family, from what I've read, haven't said that, just some daftie in a crowd who then lost the plot. Nobody comes out of this looking great, but at the end of the day two children have died.

The BBC is reporting that an aunt and the grandmother of one of them said it.

Are they? Not in the article linked above. To be honest it's really not relevant.

Shocking comment that mate.

I was thinking of the parents.

I was thinking of the parents.

Term is usually applied to people who have removed themselves from the gene pool by doing something of extraordinary stupidity leading to their death. Routine silliness and risk-taking by teenagers with probably not much else to do hardly 'qualifies', or most of us have only missed out on an award by good fortune.

If you cause the death of your offspring, that works too. I'm just shocked that a parent would buy a 15 year old child a powerful motorcycle and allow them to use it on the road. I'm not surprised that the police are being blamed, the idea that you have contributed to your child's death must be horrific.

Some interesting revelations there, but, no real surprises
