• A video showed people swamping a US Air Force plane as it moved on the tarmac at Kabul's airport.
• Afghans have been desperately trying to flee the country after it fell to the Taliban.

A video showed hordes of people swamping a US Air Force plane as it appeared to be taking off from Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.

The video, which was widely shared on Twitter on Monday morning, appeared to show dozens of Afghan civilians running alongside the plane and trying to grab hold of it as it made its way down a runway. It was not clear when the video was recorded.



Other videos posted on social media on Monday appeared to show bodies falling off military planes seconds after they took off.

Kabul's airport became a scene of chaos on Sunday as the city became the last Afghan military stronghold to fall to the Taliban.

Thousands of Afghans showed up at the airport, trying to get on flights out of the country. But their hopes were dashed on Monday as Afghanistan's Civil Aviation Authority announced that all commercial flights out of Kabul had been canceled.

The BBC reported that the airport had been divided into a commercial side and a military side, which the US had control of and was using to evacuate personnel.

In another video posted on Monday, gunfire could be heard as Afghans gathered on the tarmac scrambled. Witnesses told Reuters that at least five people had died in the chaos at the airport, though the circumstances of the deaths were unclear.

Immediately? The citizens of Afghanistan.

Eventually? The United States. Imagine 9/11 with nukes.​

This fearmongering is hilarious, US security is in much better position. US government itself has been talking peace with Taliban

Lots of ignorant hot takes in here.

A lot of y’all sound like cacs when they are talking about African nations. Reminds me of when Trump was calling African nations, shyt hole nations.


We never should have been over there in the first place, but I feel bad for those people. The Taliban is about to take that ish right back to where it was pre 9/11.

This was a proxy war for the US. Soon as the government saw there were no weapons of mass destruction there and couldn’t find Bin Laden in the mountains they should have started drawing back on ground troops and stuck strictly to air strikes probably towards the end of the first W. Bush term.

As long as the US is heavily dependent on oil and other natural resources it will have interest in the Middle East.

It is a shyt hole though.

Anywhere raping children on the regular is a shythole.

I didn't know there were so many Afghani supporters on this website.

At first I was like "what kind of shyt, who the fukk climbs on top of a plane during takeoff, pure stupidity"

Then I came to realize that this shyt is sad af, and I feel bad that they even thought to do that or that they could genuinely escape that way.

routes to the arabian sea and Mediterranean would disagree. china is trying to build a new silk road and already has an agreement with Pakistan (CPEC). they weren't fukking with Afghanistan cause the Americans were there. Now they can look to consolidate even more power in the region through concentrated infrastructure projects

America has been trying to force Pakistan to back out of CPEC too

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

There’s nothing in Afghanistan to exploit

No oil in Afghanistan?

 

[GPBear]

Matt Gaetz, Roy Moore, the list goes on

if you don’t wanna get accused of being pedophiles, stop electing them to political office

 

[FaTaL]

No oil in Afghanistan?

If they had oil nobody would leave, now that’s worth fighting over

 

[the artist known az]

That’s a awful way to die
What goes thru ones head as they falling down towards their death
Jesus I hope it was quick and they didn’t feel anything

I'm finally free

@BaggerofTea @Chez Lopez honest question. What makes you see this imagery and think it’s fake?

because anytime I assume someone else is doing something foolish, like holding onto a plane to escape a dangerous situation, it just turned out i was being fooled by the media
