Man Hangs From Helicopter in Afghanistan

A video recently surfaced, where a man was seen hanging from a flying helicopter in Afghanistan. The man is alive, and was trying to hang a flag from the air.

The Taliban have claimed “Talib Times”  is their official twitter account. The account has now been deleted. 

The account posted a video of a man "hanging" from a US Blackhawk helicopter being flown in Kandahar. The video went viral because everyone thought that the Taliban does not have trained pilots, so everyone wondered how they flew the chopper, and also because a man was seen hanging from the helicopter. 

After the video went viral, some social media accounts said the man seen dangling from the helicopter was actually a Taliban fighter. The Blackhawk was also being flown by an Afghan pilot, who got training in the United States and the United Arab Emirates, and not a Taliban member. 

Asvaka news agency posted the same video and said that the Black Hawk was seen over the Kandahar governor’s office. Reports claimed that the man was actually trying to install a flag on the governor's office, from the air, but it did not work. 

The news agency, Reuters, claimed that the man is alive even though many people thought he wasn't.
