Viral Video Of Afghan Chaos Actually Came From AT&T Stadium

(Arlington, TX) — A viral video that supposedly shows part of the chaos engulfing Afghanistan isn’t what it seems.

The video, which has had millions of views, shows thousands of people running inside a building. A Twitter user labeled it “surreal footage from Kabul airport.”

But, it actually shows sports fans hurrying into Arlington’s AT&T Stadium prior to a playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks in January 2019.
