Ski events at the 2022 Olympic Games took place near a nuclear power plant.
In February 2022, as the Winter Olympic Games kicked off in Beijing, rumours started to circulate on social media. Most social media fans were a little surprised to see that some of the ski events were being held on what looked to some like the remnants of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
While these tweets were likely posted humorous – the Chernobyl nuclear disaster took place in Ukraine in 1986, while the 2022 Olympics are being held in China and many people appeared to believe that the large structures in the background belonged to a nuclear power plant.
Though the photos are real, but this is not the site of a nuclear power plant now, much less that of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Those structures are not nuclear silos. In fact, this ski event took place near an old steel mill, with furnaces, chimney stacks, and old silos visible in the background. We rate this as Miscaptioned.
CNN reported:
Behind the skiers launching themselves off the 60-meter-high (196-foot) ramp are furnaces, tall chimney stacks and cooling towers on the site of a former steel mill that for decades contributed to the Chinese capital’s notoriously polluted skies.
The mill, founded in 1919, ceased operations more than 15 years ago, as part of efforts to clear the air in the capital ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
According to NPR, some of those silos have been converted into office spaces, while others were used to make snow for the Olympic games.

This video showing a stunning kinetic water sculpture in Japan went viral featuring a head positioned horizontally with gushing water forming its hair, was viewed more than 50 million times since it is being posted to Facebook in last October 2018. And this video is often presented as capturing a remarkable piece of water sculpture on display in Japan. In fact, this clip actually features a piece of digital art created by Chad Knight.
Chad Knight posted a still image of his artwork to his Instagram page in September 2018, along with a number of tags such as #surrealart #conceptart #digitalart and #3d to inform viewers they were looking at digitally created artwork. Knight must have caught wind of the rumors holding that his “sculpture” was physically located in Japan, because when he shared an animated version of his work however, he did specified in the caption that this artwork was not in Japan:
Knight gave some insight into his work in an interview with Monsieur Marcel:
A common misconception with Knight’s work might be that he draws inspiration from science fiction or supernatural beings. Despite their spine-tingling appearance, his art is very grounded in reality, drawing inspiration from everyday life experiences and commonly explored concepts.
“I try to capture what I feel or what I am thinking visually. Things that are surrounded by mystery, such as psychology, philosophy, quantum physics, spirituality, religion, connections, and intuition have always intrigued me. This leads to my other area of inspiration, which is potential. I believe we are all capable of far more that we think and are connected to something bigger.”
Though it is not real but it is cool being a digital design.
What is kinetic water sculptures?
Kinetic water sculpture use a water wheel to spin the kinetic sculpture above tumbled glass in the base about 6 feet tall or they are at least partly attached to any material that they were made of their sculpture.

This video demonstrates the creation of fake milk when it shows a brown liquid turn milky white in the presence of water.
In October 2018, a Facebook video of a chemical being mixed with water went viral when it was combined with the assertion that it somehow demonstrated an effort to create a dangerous milk imposter. The account sharing the post indicated that the phenomenon had spread all the way to Nairobi, Kenya, and warned that “we need to be extra careful about what we are buying”:
According to a reliable source – the only evidence providing support for the suggestion that the final product was “milk” was that the solution was white and opaque. Such a description can apply to myriad other chemical concoctions, however, so there is no reason to assume that a milk substitute beverage is what is seen being created in the clip.
Therefore, based on the color of the chemical added, it is likely that brown liquid is the antiseptic liquid formulation of Dettol, an internationally popular line of cleaning and first-aid products with the active ingredient of chloroxylenol. Their antiseptic liquid solution is stored as a brown oil prior to being diluted with water. This fact is a major part of the company’s marketing imagery. It is included in this commercial for the product designed for the same Kenyan audiences whom the Facebook video is purportedly directed towards.
Actual dairy milk, it bears mentioning, is white for the same reason as the liquid in the video – an emulsion. In the case of actual milk, the emulsion contains butterfat globules and water, not Dettol and water.
Why Dettol liquid becomes Milky when treated with water?
The active ingredient in Dettol is chloroxylenol which is a phenol. Phenols has very low solubility in water. When you add Dettol to water, the chloroxylenol being an organic liquid immiscible with water forms an emulsion and appears white.
