FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post and found the claims to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, we traced a tweet on the official handle of Estadao — a daily newspaper from Sao Paulo, Brazil, dated May 6, 2018. The video in the tweet matches with the viral clip with a description that it is from Brazil, where three people (including the bride) got injured when the helicopter crashed into the wedding ceremony.
We could not find any information about the groom or any casualty in the tweet. Also, another tweet by the official handle of the Fire Department of Sao Paulo on the same day informs about the crash and how the Fire Brigade responded to the emergency timely. Here too, the caption tells that the bride did not suffer any injuries whereas the pilot suffered minor abrasions.
According to a news article in G1 — a Brazilian news portal, dated May 5, 2018 and titled: Helicopter carrying bride crashes and three are injured in Vinhedo; VIDEO, the bride escaped unharmed and three people (including the pilot, a photographer, and a child) suffered minor injuries.
No casualties were reported in the incident and the wedding took place normally afterwards. The incident was reported by other media houses like Mirror, Mignews, and Estadao, as well.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral video’s claims over the copter crash incident is false.
