On March 27, 2014, at 10:53 AM, @rafaleonortega tweeted “Imagen del avión en el mar en estos momentos en Telde, Gran Canaria,” or, in English, “There is a plane in the sea right now in Telde, Canary Islands.” This immediately incited panic (occurring only a few weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared), and thousands of users began posting about the plane in the sea on Twitter. But did a plane land in the water off the coast of the Canary Islands? We can use the Trails system to help answer that question.
