New Delhi | Footage shared on social media showed Afghan civilians clinging to the side of a US military plane preparing to take off. These were the people who could not get into the ship, then stuck to its exterior and started trying to go with the plane. In the video, several people are clearly seen hanging on the exterior of the US military transport plane as it walks off the runway and a crowd of hundreds of people running alongside it, the BBC reported.
According to some reports, which are yet to be confirmed, at least two people have died after a plane fell from people clinging to it after it took off.
Such videos are also going viral on social media, in which something is seen falling from the flying ship and it is being claimed that these same people are falling down, who are trying to travel by sticking in the outer part of the ship. But as soon as the plane reached some height, it fell down. However, the claims being made about this video have not been confirmed yet.
At least two others were reportedly killed earlier at the same airport as a large crowd of passengers was attempting to flee the country. It is not clear whether he died in the stampede or due to bullet injuries.
