Going OT: why a parody account of Italian PM is tweeting a video about an airplane accident in India? Really weird

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth about what obviously just happened so all you can bear to do is say something unreasonably optimistic.

People always tweet trending stuff for popularity as simple as that

But this seems a "first hand" content, not a retweet.

Could be something as simple as a follower sending the video to the account knowing it will be shared

It could simply be reposted from another site or downloaded from a tweet and uploaded without attribution.

It's very common, ever since twitter added monetization. It makes the site a lot more unbearable.
