Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Secretary General of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) political party and a member of Pakistan’s Defense Committee, on July 5 shared a video of a flight narrowly avoiding a collision with an oil tanker while descending on the runway. “Narrow escape of an aircraft which could have ended in a great disaster. Miraculous save by the pilot’s presence of mind,” his tweet said that was accompanied with a screenshot from the video.
However, he did not realize that the video he shared was a graphic simulation from the very popular action-adventure video game, GTA V. The moment Gandapur’s tweet went viral, people started trolling him for his goof-up. The tweet has since been deleted but not before netizens online had a field day. Here are some reactions:

Recently, Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party live streamed a press conference on Facebook accidentally with the cat filter on making the faces of the leaders look like cats. Later, the party apologized for the incident and called it a “human error.”
