An Australian airline received threats

An Australian airline has received about a hundred threats from a conspiracy theory that its pilots caused devastating floods off the east coast of Australia, Agence France-Presse reported, Friday.

According to false news spread on the Internet Handel Aviation pilots drop heavy rain over Lismore, NSW on March 31 By bringing some material to the clouds.

Conspiracy theories like these have begun to spread on the World Wide Web after devastating floods swept the eastern coast of Austria in recent weeks due to torrential rains.

One widely shared letter wrote the judgment at the expense of a Handel Aviation pilot who allegedly used a Cessna 210N Centurion (VH-JIL) to inject some type of material into clouds over flood-affected areas.

Even Australian fashion designer Alice McColl shared the conspiracy theory and flight path of the plane.

Mark Handel, Handel’s airline operator, called the rumors circulating online Thursday false. He said the plane, which is the crux of the conspiracy theory, had begun taking aerial photos of the Australian mapping company Near Map.

Handel Aviation has been commissioned to map flood-affected areas for insurance companies and emergency services NearMap confirmed. A spokesperson for the company confirmed that the same will happen in all natural disasters.

Mark Handel noted that despite the clarification, the airline had received a number of harsh threats. One example reads: We have the names of the pilots, we also know where you live and you will pay for it Handel told me.
