Kabul airport: People seen running beside US Air Force jet ready for take off

Chaos and confusion prevailed at Kabul airport as panicked people were seen climbing up the outside of an airbridge in a bid to get on board planes and chasing a US military C-17 down the runway.

Videos also showed hundreds of people running alongside, and in front of, a US Air Force jet preparing to take off.

US troops also fired shots into the air at Kabul airport on Monday as thousands of Afghans crowded onto the tarmac desperate to leave the country a day after the Taliban gained control over war-ravaged Afghanistan, news agency Reuters reported.
