WATCH: Stunning visuals show Afghans inside US plane

August 17 (IndiaToday) – Harrowing scenes have emerged from Afghanistan capital Kabul since the city fell to the Taliban and thousands of Afghans tried to flee the country in a last-ditch effort before the country slipped into chaos.

Men, women and children were seen rushing to the Kabul airport while some tried to cling to a US Air Force plane, only to fall to their deaths from the sky, which has become one of the most shocking visuals of the Afghanistan crisis. US President Joe Biden has meanwhile defended the decision of rapid withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.

Thank you to this pilot who decided to take off with 640 passengers on a plane designed for 150. This is the kind of humanity we need to see after several horrific days via @abcnews #Afghanistan #AfghanWomen #AfghanistanBurning #Afganistan pic.twitter.com/EQARi4rxkp
