Afghan Footballer Falls to Death from US plane in Kabul.

A player from Afghanistan's national football team was one of the victims that fell from a U.S. military C-17 aircraft on Monday.

  • Afghanistan's General Directorate of Physical Education and Sports confirmed Zaki Anwari's death on social media.
  • One day after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan's capital city Kabul on Sunday, hundreds of people fled to the tarmac at Hamid Karzai International Airport trying to find a way to evacuate the country.
  • As the C-17 aircraft taxied on the runway, people clung to the outside of the plane.
  • Video that has since gone viral showed at least two bodies falling from the aircraft as it took off.
