Afghans Try To Jump In Planes Taking Off, People Fall From Planes High In Air, Reports Say

Images coming out of Afghanistan on Monday morning showed large numbers of people running in front of U.S. military cargo planes that were taking off, forcing the military to use helicopters to clear people off the tarmac so the planes could takeoff.

Other disturbing images showed objects falling from the cargo planes once they were hundreds, if not a couple thousand feet, above the ground after takeoff. Various news reports, including Newsweek, the Daily Mail, and Hareetz reported that the objects falling from the planes were people.
