Here is from the other side. You can see a bunch of Afghans hanging on to the C-17 as it is taxi down the runway to takeoff.

If you look closely you can see two people (one on each side) falling off this C-17 taking off.

What would have handed when the plane landed. It seems those people, if they managed to hang on to the destination, would have continued in a forward motion into the pavement.

I guess some of them think they think ride a plane like any other vehicle?

They have seen too many Tom Cruise movies.

I can’t fathom what they were thinking

Maybe they figured the military would open the doors instead of taking off

Secure the darn airport. There should be thousands of troops there by now. If you have a shoot a few people, or more than a few people, do it. We have how many infantry bns there now? These are all young males running around - take them to the ground and zip tie them. What a circus.

I’m surprised that twitter feed hasn’t been taken down yet.

I guess we need to give it time.

I noticed that too. It looks to me like about 10% trying desperately to get away and 90% celebrating.

It is only going to get worse. Thanks Biden.

I honestly wonder if the onlookers aren’t so damned ignorant that they really believe those people climbing on the outside of the aircraft have a good chance of getting out alive.

Desperation leads all kinds of actions. It is an awful catastrophe what is happening and going to happen.

What were they doing these 20 years? Did they not realize what was coming?

Maybe they need to check and clear the landing gear before takeoff.
