August 16, 2021 by sundance


The crisis unfolding at the international airport in Kabul has reached horrific levels. Afghan nationals are swarming the airport in an effort to escape the onslaught as Taliban fighters go door-to-door looking for people who have assisted the United States during the 20 year war.


At least seven people were killed at the airport, many fell to their deaths as they clung to the outside of U.S. C-17 transport planes.

Horrific videos have surfaced showing desperation amid the humanitarian crisis. The AFP is reporting:


KABUL – […] Residents raced to Kabul’s international airport, where the “civilian side” was closed until further notice, according to Afghanistan’s Civil Aviation Authority. The U.S. military and other Western forces continued to organize evacuations.

Videos circulating on social media showed hundreds of people running across the tarmac as U.S. troops fired warning shots in the air. One showed a crowd pushing and shoving its way up a staircase, trying to board a plane, with some people hanging off the railings.

In another video, hundreds of people could be seen running alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moved down a runway. Some clung to the side of the jet just before takeoff. Another video showed several falling through the air as the airplane rapidly gained altitude over the city.


Senior military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing operation, told The Associated Press that the chaos left seven dead, including several who fell from the flight. (read more)
