Three Afghan citizens fell to their deaths as they tried to cling on to a US Airforce plane which was taking off from Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul on Monday.
According to the details, the three Afghan citizens hung on the US Airforce plane as it was taxiing along the apron on the runway. However, they fell down as soon as the aircraft took off and the landing gear retracted.
