I found an article from NBC News claiming that a train, carrying propane, was derailed a few miles from Florida airport, on the 28 of February, 2023. The article included a photo of a derailed train. The article also claims that no one was injured, but the cause for the derailment was unclear; therefore, I wanted to find out if the claims and photo from this article were true or false.
1. My first step is by using Wikipedia to verify if NBC News is a reliable source. I found out that NBC News is America’s number-one-rated morning newscast, and it’s been around since the 21 of February, 1940.
2. My second step to verify this article was by using Snopes. I found out that a train, carrying propane, was derailed in Florida, on the 28 of February, 2023; which means, the NBC News article’s claims were true.
3. My third step to verify this article was by using TinEye. After using TinEye, I found out that the photo from NBC News’ article has not been modified in any way.
4. My last step to verify this article was by using Google to see if there are other articles that have the same claims as NBC News’ article. I found out that there are many different articles from many different well-known sources that claim the same thing as NBC News’ article.
In conclusion, I believe that the claims from NBC News’ article are true after I verified by using multiple different ways.
