The situation in Afghanistan is on alert. People are rushing to escape from the Talibani rule. In a video going viral amongst many others trying to escape held outside the plane taking off on wheels. Three persons allegedly held on to a wheel of a US plane flying out of Kabul and are seen falling to their death in one of the multiple videos showing insane attempts by Afghans.
This is how Americans left #Afghanistan after 20 years of war.

At #Kabul Airport, people can be seen hanging from American planes that are falling down after the plane went into air, remember that these are the people who have been serving for the US government.#Taliban pic.twitter.com/6tAfSyaxSP
A video of stowaways looking like dots dropping from the plane was shared by many, including Tariq Majidi of TOLO News, who wrote: “Three Kabul residents who were trying to leave the country by hiding next to the tire or wing of an American plane, fell on the rooftop of local people. They lost their lives due to the terrible conditions in Kabul.”
In more videos from Kabul, a crowd swarms the airport runway, chasing a US Air Force plane, and a group is seen huddled on a wing of a plane taxiing before take-off.
This horrific image may become the iconic picture of the Trump-Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan. It appears the situation in Kabul remains desperate with US forces in harm`s way. Let`s remember the many Americans bravely doing their jobs under the worst of circumstances. pic.twitter.com/avDwKpwhi2

Distressing videos showed the mayhem in Afghanistan after the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban on the weekend, and the desperation of thousands trying to flee the city.
At least five people were killed in the airport as people crowded the tarmac and tried to forcibly enter planes leaving the Afghan capital. It is not known whether they were killed by gunshots or in a stampede.
Mobs, including women and little children, started gathering outside the Kabul airport last night, determined to get away after the Taliban entered the presidential palace and President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.
