Paraglider 'airdrops' lighter to man in Goa

Ever found yourself in a situation so absurd that you secretly wished for a miracle to bail you out? That’s exactly what happened to a man who found himself in a remote area of Goa without a lighter. Just when things seemed hopeless, divine intervention arrived –– from the sky –– as a paraglider swooped in to save the day. And yes, the entire scene was captured in a now-viral video.

The clip begins with a breathtaking aerial view of Goa, accompanied by the caption, “Imagine forgetting a lighter here.” Soon after, a paraglider appears in the distance, and the man, desperate, calls out, “Bhaiya, lighter hai? (Brother, do you have a lighter?)”

To everyone’s amusement, the paraglider flies down to deliver a lighter. Laughter and cheers erupt from the crowd as the unexpected hero hands over the much-needed item. Before flying off into the picturesque sunset, the paraglider reminds, “Wapas de dena (Do give it back.)”

While one user called it “Airdrop,” another user said, “Blinkit is getting crazier day by day.” A third user commented, “Men are simple. They know the importance of a lighter.”

Another user wrote, “Acha hua bhai record kar liya, koi manta nai (Good that you recorded, no one would have believed.)”
