An offensive T-shirt mocking those who fell from a military aircraft while desperately attempting to flee Afghanistan is being sold online, causing outrage on social media. Last week, after Taliban took control of Afghanistan, several people attempted to flee. Two of them, including a 17-year-old footballer, held onto a C-17 aircraft that took off from Harmid Karzai International Airport in Kabul and fell to death from the plane’s undercarriage.
Now, a T-shirt emblazoned with “Kabul Skydiving Club Est. 2021” has surfaced on several e-commerce platforms, depicting two people plummeting from an aircraft.

What’s worse is the thoughtless description of the product.
“Featuring the scene of the plane flying in the sky and suddenly, there are two people falling from it, the Kabul Skydiving Club Shirt is officially becoming a phenomenon and goes viral on the internet after that!” the description reads.
“For those who are into Parachuting, skydiving, those who love jumping from the aeroplane to experience the highest mood, this shirt is totally suitable to wear! The shirt originally does have its own meaning in the political aspect, but in the end, it depends on how you feel about it!” it adds.
