Videos taken at the airport showed Afghans clinging to the outside of aircraft as they took off, and several were killed when they fell off a Boeing C-17 at a great height. Anwari reportedly clung to the landing gear of the plane and was crushed when the wheels retracted. His remains were found in the plane&#8217;s wheel well after it landed in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>Anwari <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/19\/afghan-who-died-on-us-plane-idd-as-former-national-soccer-player\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played for<\/a> Afghanistan&#8217;s youth soccer team when he was 16.
