Desperate Afghans continued to gather in huge crowds outside Kabul’s international airport Friday, undeterred by twin suicide attacks that left at least 100 people dead a day before, including 13 American troops.
Inside the fortified airport walls, the U.S. flag was lowered to half-staff as the final evacuations carried on under heavy security as military officials warned that attackers were plotting further destruction.

But it seems that things went from bad to worse later in the day as a video that was sent to us shows soldiers shooting at the people who breached the fortified walls inside the Kabul airport. The video is filmed with a helmet-mounted camera of one of the American marines.

It’s unclear whether the shooters are Afghan soldiers that stayed to help the American Army or the Marines, the third option is that they could be the Taliban’s as the Biden administration reportedly turned over security to the Taliban and even gave the Taliban a list of Americans and Afghans they know are still trapped in Afghanistan.
A side-by-side video shows the US military with the Taliban at one of the checkpoints at the Kabul airport.

While many who hope to somehow penetrate the Taliban checkpoints and then pass airport security are gathering despite warnings that another attack could easily occur, some have decided to give up hope and find another way out, likely by land to the Pakistan border.
Nangialay, a 34-year-old, expressed his frustration : “I will not return to the airport even if they [U.S. and U.K.] request it,” he said, underscoring the dire situation many feel they are in.
U.S. Central Command chief Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie on Thursday warned that more attacks were being planned. “We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks,” he told reporters still working in Kabul. “And we expect those attacks to continue.”
The U.S. has military confirmed that 5,000 people are waiting on the airfield for the last flights out of Kabul. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from Kabul since it fell to the Taliban, according to the Associated Press, but at least 1,000 Americans and thousands of Afghans are still waiting for what now seems like an impossible escape.
one of the comments - the tally man now has more black hawks than 85% of other countries
I seriously hope black hawks are embedded with trackers
Twitter’s jammed right now.
You often hear the phrase every country deserves the government they’ve chosen. But in both cases, Afghanistan and us, our government was not chosen by the people.
Let that sink in
Today ... just a few moments ago ... I realized the reason the military was pulled first.
THESE (below) people have been heavily invested in and they can't afford to lose a single one.
. Viet Nam was invented to kill off " the angry young (educated) man " of the 60's.
. The Middle East has been created to be training ground for obedient storm troopers.
Not Americans shooting, you can hear them talking about it.
Our leadership may leave people behind in the New America, but our soldiers don’t shoot unarmed civilians.
I wonder how the video got out, released by soldier or someone else?
World War Z.
Remember when you were young and zombies were really slow?...
If you have seen the movie, the plot is eerily similar to what is actually going on in the real world today..................
Aquiesence is a choice.
I get to be Brad Pitt.
It starts in Philly, which I live just outside of.
There’s also I Am Legend…
Haven’t seen that. Heard it was a remake of Heston’s ‘Omega Man’ from early 70’s............
It doesn’t appear people were being shot.
There are soldiers in front of the crowd firing into to the air also.
The vehicle was driving by and and shooting but people were ducking not falling, soldiers in front weren’t concerned and fired in the air also.
Not shots hitting the ground. That’s important.
On full auto AK and no shots hitting the ground, because they were fired in the air.
Can anyone repost for those of us to eschew the communist Twitter?
As zombie movies go, it was above average.......................
Not Until it is posted on Rumble or the like.................
Looks like Biden’s economy.
That is correct. I am Legend is a darn good movie. The zombies are a helluva lot creepier than the zombies Heston fought with.
