One of the Afghans seen plunging from a US Air Force plane as it took off from Kabul was identified in a report Wednesday as a 17-year-old boy — whose younger brother may have also died while desperately attempting to flee the country. Relatives of the teenager described the horrifying moment they found his mangled body on the ground after he fell from the C-17 transport plane on Monday. “His legs and arms were gone. I brought him back myself,” a family member told Vice News. The outlet called the teen and his 16-year-old brother Reza and Kabeer, but said it changed their names because they are minors, and to protect their families. Both boys left home for the airport Monday amid the Taliban’s takeover, after hearing a rumor that 20,000 people would be relocated to Canada or the US, the report said.
