Painful to see. In a desperate attempt to leave Afghanistan, 3 Afghans held onto the wheels of a departing U.S. Air Force C-17. Needless to say, they fell to their deaths when the plane took off. @akhbar pic.twitter.com/TfnVGiGXkT

Menschenrechtsaktivistin zu mir gerade jetzt: Lage am Flughafen in #Kabul spitzt sich dramatisch zu. US Militär feuert Warnschüsse und im Flughafengebäude sind die Taliban und liefern sich Gefechte mit amerikanischen Sicherheitskräften. Wir hören die Schusssalven.. #Afghanishtan pic.twitter.com/hkTBRxHd85
