Misleading
A real accident did occur at Pakistan's Tarbela 5th Extension (T-5) project on 9 November 2026 — a rock-mass collapse and breach of a protective bund flooded a tunnel and under-construction powerhouse — but WAPDA and the Haripur deputy commissioner explicitly denied that the tunnel, project or dam had collapsed, so the post's 'T5 project has COLLAPSED' framing is misleading. The attached clip looks like genuine bystander footage of a hillside landslide, but nothing ties it to the Tarbela site.
