The Claim

Twitter users have shared a clip that they suggested was from Afghanistan and showed people running through Kabul airport.

The account @uajalsingh tweeted the clip along with the message: "Where is the UN. The superpowers. Why aren't all nations coming together to help them. This is so sad."

They used the hashtag "#kabulairport" in the post.
Another Twitter account—@Conflict_Zones—also shared the video alongside the caption: "Surreal footage from Kabul airport as soon as it opened this morning - Afghanistan"

The first video post mentioned had more than 85,000 views at the time of writing, while the latter had more than 33,000.
Shocking even footage captured people falling from an ascending plane that they had clung onto during its takeoff in a desperate attempt to flee the nation.

However, the footage in the claim section above is not from Kabul. Instead, it is from Arlington, Texas, in 2019.
The video shows people running into the AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, an American football team.


Far Right Wing Media fools their minions again. Why are they so fucking gullible?
