Kabul Airport now overrun by civilians and operations have been suspended.

At least one person has died after clinging to a C-17A as it took off.

Reportedly, around 800 people were allowed to get in a single C-17A yesterday (accordingly to comms monitoring).

We are watching a movie. Comment from a friend who has film industry experience..... " why bother getting a green screen and chroma keying the plane and people. Seems a hell of a lot of effort for what reason? " Anyone doubting this, I suggest a game of 'spot the difference' between the widely circulated still image from that video and decent online images of C17 02-1109.
