Shocking footage of a US C-17 taking off from Kabul Airport around 40 minutes ago and something falls off from the aircraft. Many eyewitnesses claim 2-3 people fell off the aircraft over roofs of buildings in Kabul. Not officially confirmed. Shall update. pic.twitter.com/XFdctueRPU

This is moments before this C-17 took off from Kabul airport. People seen hanging/sitting on the landing gear of the aircraft while it takes off. This is how desperate people are to leave Afghanistan after Taliban rule.pic.twitter.com/uGz1MG60u7

Absolute choas at Kabul’s airport. Here’s a US military plane ready for takeoff surrounded and climbed by Afghans desperate to leave the country after Taliban has taken over control yesterday.

This does look like anything but a peaceful transition. pic.twitter.com/Z818UAhZX7
