Afghans run along, cling to US Air Force jet ready to fly out of war-ravaged nation | Watch video
A heart-wrenching video, which went viral on social media, had hundreds of young Afghan nationals running alongside a US military aircraft as it prepared to take off from Kabul.

Young Afghan nationals run beside the US Air Force plane in Kabul.

Distressing visuals of people desperately trying to get out of Kabul have surfaced all over social media.

In a disheartening video, hundreds of young Afghan nationals were seen running along a US Military Aircraft on the runway as it was about to take off from the Kabul airport.

Sources said the young nationals mostly comprised people who had helped the American government in Afghanistan. Some among them were translators who helped US when they were in control of the nation.

Khushall Khan, one of the US translators in Kabul, mentioned some of the people seen running in the video, were apparently ditched by the US government and were not taken out of the country as promised.


PEOPLE CRASH TO DEATH
