Original Video
A 22-year-old student from the UK claims he is stuck in Kabul after flying to Afghanistan on holiday last Friday.
Miles Routledge, a physics student at Loughborough University, reportedly flew into Afghanistan on Friday 13 August from Turkey with a flight scheduled out of Kabul on 19 August.
He originally booked the trip in May 2021, despite advice from the UK Foreign Office cautioning against travel to the country. This month Routledge discovered he could not refund his trip, so decided to get on the flight as planned, believing that he would be able to leave before the Taliban took Kabul.
However, the ongoing Taliban offensive has moved quicker than predicted, with Kabul falling to the insurgent group yesterday, 15 August.
According to multiple posts on 4chan and a video he streamed on Twitch, Routledge - also known as Lord Miles online - explained why he decided to make the trip.
“I kind of thought, what’s the most fun country I could go to that isn’t boring, as in, there’s some excitement in there and it’s different,” he said. “I don’t want to go to London or even Spain.
“I googled the ten most dangerous countries in the world, and then I used that as a shopping list. At the top was Afghanistan.
“I messaged some people, watched some YouTube videos and thought ‘this stuff’s alright!’ I thought as the UK and US are still there, it’s got to be pretty safe.
“I thought ‘goofing off in Afghanistan...sounds good!’”
