Islamabad: From Sarfaraz Ahmed’s mid-game yawn to a news anchor confusing Apple Inc with apples, Pakistan has give us plenty of material to laugh for a lifetime.
The latest in line is a politician, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, who made a terrible gaffe on social media, effectively reducing himself to a joke.
He shared a video from the popular game Grand Theft Auto confusing it with a real life incident. The video features an oil tanker veering into a runway where an aeroplane is about to make its landing. The averts a potential tragedy by lifting off again, missing the oil tanker by a whisker.
Khurram Nawaz shared the video clip on his Twitter profile adding an
“Narrow escape of an aircraft which could have ended in a great disaster. Miraculous save by the pilot’s presence of mind,” he captioned the video.

Unsurprisingly, social media users pounced on the hilarious gaffe by trolling the politician.
“Hello, this is a simulation video. Such things aren’t possible in real life situations. If so the KLM & Panam crash would have been avoided. You should learn about lift,” wrote one user.

Whoa, even the flying cameraman avoided the plane this way. And the way those brakes work on the tanker, they should be made a standard in all vehicles across the globe.
Also, the pilot should be given honorary citizenship of Paxtan.— Sugandha K (@sugandhakohli) July 6, 2019
Sir, this is from 'Casino Royale'
