The situation at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul has become increasingly chaotic as embassies in the country shut down, sending staff members streaming to the airport, joined by tens of thousands of Afghans desperate to get out.

US officials said seven people have died, including some who clung to an American military jet and fell to the ground as the plane took off, the AP reported.

Bystander video from the scene shows hundreds of people running across the tarmac, and people sitting on top of a passenger jet, although civilian air travel is on hold, with air travel reduced to military operations.

Taliban holding off, with US in control of airport

The scene has grown more desperate since the Taliban rolled into Kabul on Sunday, unimpeded, and announced they now control the country, marking a return to power 20 years after US forces invaded following the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

I hope Afghan citizens that helped the American military have a chance of heading out of the country soon
