This is the moment a man is seen smiling on a zipline while 26 people are shot dead below him in a terror attack.
Footage shows the tourist being launched by the Zipline operator, who says ‘Allahu Akbar’ three times as a militant group opened fire on visitors at a popular tourist spot in Indian-controlled Kashmir last week.
But the tourist does not appear to be aware of what is going on and smiles and films the scenery around him as he takes off along the Zipline.
Additional gunfire can be heard in the background as people are seen falling to the ground after being struck by bullets while trying to flee.
The man filming does not appear to realise what is happening as later footage shows him crossing the area where the terror attack took place.
One witness said: ‘My husband was shot in the head while seven others were also injured in the attack.’
Tourist Asavari Jagdale revealed how a gunman came into the tent which her family were hiding in and shooting all of her male relatives.
Due to the area only being accessible by horseback, locals rushed to help with emergency efforts and transport the injured on ponies.
He said: ‘I saw people crying, screaming, just lying in the aftermath of the attack. There were children, women, men, everyone.
‘It was a massive trauma. I did not sleep all night.’
One witness said: ‘I cannot say how many, but the militants came out of the forest near an open small meadow and started firing.’
He added the gunfire was ‘like a storm’ and the gunmen ‘very clearly spared women and kept shooting at men’.
