The word "insane" doesn't truly do this justice.

A few of the civilians looked like they were joking around. Others were willing to risk a flight at high altitude on the outside of a C-17 to avoid the Taliban.

How do I know? Because three people fell to their deaths trying to get into the landing gear bay of that plane.

Elsewhere at the Kabul airport on Monday morning, people swarmed the tarmac, trying to get onto planes – any plane – that would take them away.

What was the Biden administration's response to all this? I guess we have to wait until they all get back from vacation.
