Chaos at Kabul Airport

Chaos unfolded earlier today at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, where thousands of people rushed to the airport in hopes they would be evacuated on departing jets. As shown in this image, hundreds crowded onto the tarmac and runways, desperately clinging to outgoing planes. After quickly sweeping through other areas of Afghanistan, the Taliban has now taken control of Kabul, the capital city and home of 4.6 million people.
