An old video of a paraglider making an abrupt landing during an event in Pakistan has surfaced online and left social media users chuckling. The clip, shared on X by the popular account ‘Ghar Ke Kalesh’, captures the paraglider landing on the chief guest of the event. According to the Khaleej Times, the incident took place in 2023 at a celebration of Gilgit-Baltistan’s 76th Independence Day. The event featured the paraglider making a dramatic entrance, followed by a trail of red and blue smoke.

In the video, the paraglider misestimated his landing time and speed. Instead of landing on the field, he ended up landing straight in the first row, where the chief guest was sitting. The people standing around the chief guest moved away quickly and no one seemed to be injured. The paraglider, on the other hand, was seen trapped in the damaged parachute after landing.

“He might be landed at same spot while practicing.. they arranged VIP seating on the same area…not his fault!!” said one X user. “Average Pakistani when they hear Biryani is distributed for free,,” reacted another.

Previously, another video from Pakistan which showed an airline pilot cleaning the windscreen of his aircraft just before takeoff had surfaced online. The footage showed a Serene Air pilot leaning out of the plane’s side window to clean the view ahead. The incident took place on an Airbus A330-200, operating an international flight between Pakistan and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The video sparked a conversation about airline safety protocols and the duties of ground staff. However, a section of the internet said that it is a normal practice.
