What a mess. I know it's easy to say now, but why didn't journalists, diplomats, and American citizens evacuate a few days ago when all of this was going down. They knew the Taliban were coming.

They believed the us intel community who said kabul would fall in weeks/months, not hours. Wanted the shots of embassy evacuations...

If the airport is taking fire then nobody is leaving the airport. The taliban has them completely surrounded. It will be a bloodbath.

Everyone thought this would take weeks. Kandahar and Herat were fighting for weeks.

Can't tell if this is a repeat or if the airport is taking more fire.

A C208 that flew out of Kabul and was circling for a while looks like it will finally land in Tajikistan

Usually all it takes is one indirect fire event or even a false positive and youll get the shelter in place sirens. That may or may not be what is happening here, I just comment to say that this does not necessarily mean the airport is (yet) taking steady fire.
