A video from Pakistan has gone viral on social media. In it, a paraglider is attempting to salute a chief guest from a parachute. In an unexpected turn of events, his landing has left everybody in splits.
According to the video shared on X, the soldier can be seen descending with a parachute and releasing a series of red and blue smoke to salute the chief guest at the event. However, his landing fails as he crashes right in front of the stage where the guest sits.
Following this, the chief guest swiftly gets up from the seat and leaves. The incident is from November 2023, during the 76th Independence Day of Gilgit Baltistan, according to a report by Khaleej Times.

“This can only happen in Pakistan,” added another.
Recently, another video from the neighbouring country went viral. In it, a groom was seen donning a 35-foot garland from his brother.
