Situation Desperate At Kabul Airport

It's a desperate situation in Kabul as crowds of Afghans flood into the airport hoping to leave the country. 

Outside the airport, the Taliban is cementing its control of the capital after overrunning the country in a matter of days. 

Videos showed crowds running along the tarmac trying to grab onto a US Air Force plane as it was preparing for take off. 

In other videos people try to cling to a jetway and perhaps most disturbing, people are seen falling from an airplane they were trying to hold on to after takeoff. 

Air travel has reportedly been temporarily suspended at the airport as the U.S. military tries to secure the area.
