A video showing Taliban soldiers driving bumper cars while brandishing their guns has taken over the internet even as thousands tried to escape their takeover in Afghanistan by making their way to Kabul's airport.
The video appears to show the soldiers enjoying themselves at an amusement park while another shows them riding on a merry-go-round.
