The two fake stories claimed Air Force One crashed and Joe Biden would issue a statement.

“#BREAKING: US Air Force One crash feared as air traffic controller loses contact with pilot over Russian air space.”

“#BREAKING: Vice President Joe Biden to address nation in 15 minutes.”

The Wall Street Journal said it unpublished the two posts.
