This is a horrendous day for all of humanity with the grim reality making this obvious as images from the scene at Kabul airport emerges, where thousands of people descended onto runways and attempted to board the planes parked on the tarmac.

Some have remained grounded but others were able to escape successfully. Sadly the sheer desperation of the fearful citizens has cost some of them their lives. Footage emerged of some Afghan citizens plunging to their deaths after grabbing onto the body of the aforementioned military plane.
