Online retailers have come under fire on social media for selling offensive merchandise mocking Afghan people who tragically fell to their deaths attempting to flee the Taliban.<\/p>\n
Shocking footage earlier this week showed multiple civilians falling to their death from a U.S. Air Force jet as it took off from Kabul airport. <\/p>\n
Desperate people, including a teenage footballer, clung on to the plane's landing gear as the Taliban militants took hold of the capital. <\/p>\n
Just days after the tragic incident, online retailers, including popular website Etsy, were seen listing T-shirts sporting illustrations of two people falling out of the plane.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One T-shirt sported the caption, "Kabul Skydiving Club Est. 2021."<\/p>\n
"Featuring the scene of the plane flying in the sky and suddenly, there are two people falling from it, the Kabul Skydiving Club Shirt is officially becoming a phenomenon and goes viral on the Internet after that!," read the item's description on TShirtAtLowPrice.com.<\/p>\n
The sickening tee was being sold in a variety of colours and sizes. <\/p>\n
