A FORMER Afghan national youth team footballer reportedly died in the landing gear of a US plane while trying to flee Kabul. Zaki Anwari’s remains were said to have been found aboard the US Air Force C-17 transport plane after the aircraft dashed to escape the advancing Taliban while carrying hundreds of refugees. Zaki, 19, is believed to be one of the individuals who was killed after clinging onto the plane, according to the The General Directorate of Physical Education & Sports of Afghanistan, reports Ariana News.
Pictures shocked the world as they showed hundreds of Afghans swarming around the plane desperate to get on board and escape the Taliban.
And it was reported two people fell from the aircraft and one had become trapped in the landing gear - which caused the plane to make an emergency landing in Qatar.
It has been reported that Zaki was the individual who became stuck and whose remains were recovered by the US crew.
In his final Facebook post, the promising young footballer spoke to being the master of his own destiny.
"You're the painter of your live (sic) Don't give the paint brush to anyone else," he wrote.
According to his social media, he lived in Kabul, and had been a student of Esteghlal High School, a Franco-Afghan school in Kabul.
At 16 the Inter Milan fan had been a player of the Afghan youth football team.
His friends posted mourning messages on social media, as one posted: “We are from God and we return to him.”

Politicians and their conflicts overseas I have a feeling they aren’t enjoying the freedom we said we would bring. This is such a horrible continuation of a horrible story.

Biggest problem is that we have lost the "kind" from mankind...if we ever had it to begin with.

I always expected we would hear about some massive rare mineral in the Afghan mountains. Something of value that we wanted to have under the pretense of war for XYZ. Whatever the reason it certainly wasn’t worth the lives and dollars wasted. For absolutely nothing.
