Afghans Evacuated To Germany Describe Terrifying Scenes At Kabul Airport

"We had to force our way through and my little son fell over and we were scared but we made it," said a woman, speaking in German.

Afghans who arrived in Germany on Wednesday described chaotic and terrifying scenes at Kabul airport before they were evacuated to safety and said they feared for lives of loved ones they left behind. Speaking shortly after landing in Frankfurt on a flight from Tashkent, men, women and children said they were part of a lucky few evacuated by NATO armies after the country fell to the Taliban with astonishing speed. "We had to force our way through and my little son fell over and we were scared but we made it," said a woman, speaking in German. "Then an American guy showed goodwill and realised we were totally exhausted. He took the passports and said I need to check if this is authentic. Then he said 'all good, you may go in'. Others behind cried and lay on the ground. It was scary."
