A shocking video making the rounds on social media claims to show a panicked crowd rush into the terminal at Kabul airport after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban — but the footage was shot in Texas.
The footage posted by several Twitter users, including by @Conflict_Zones, is actually a clip of anxious fans rushing into AT&T Stadium in Arlington for a 2019 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks, Newsweek said in a report Thursday.

I told you they are going to exagerate what’s going on there to make the case for accepting refugees.
Not that the Taliban are saints of course, but as they say, “Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste.” I am not just going to accept at face value every report coming from there.
Same thing from a certain point of view. :)
I can clearly see some Seahawk jerseys in the still shot.
Couldn’t people tell with the clothes being worn? And the architecture...overseas airports on the whole tend to be way nicer than American ones but I don’t think Kabul is Dubai.
Are we sure they weren't rushing out?
This is not unfunny.
>> anxious fans rushing into AT&T Stadium
Figures... ATT is somehow involved — even when completely unrelated. A pass just this one time...
And they used photos of 2014 Obama caged illegal alien children and attributed it to Trump.
Cowboys stadium? Then they should run it backwards..................
That doesn’t explain the people in chemises and turbans climbing on the wing, or chasing the USAF plane, and falling off. So, some photos were probably faked but not all.
I saw this on And We Know this morning. I think we are being conned.
I can just barely make out Burt Lanscaster and Dean Martin near a Boeing 707.
I thought that it looked fishy.
The Post should have identified the media sources doing this. Any FR see this ? Why not report over what station and network
Of course the Cowboys, like Biden have been a dumpster fire for years.
Andy Ngo put this up on Twitter Sunday and then took it down with an apology about an hour later.
Stupid, stupid people.
Trust the media, it’s the only source of truth. (/sarc
Um, so what about the videos of Afghans falling off US planes to their deaths?
And videos of all the Taliban in Kabul?
