Byer and investigative reporter Jason Pohl: Story of Afghanistan’s Abdul, whose family headed to the airport on August 15th, the day Taliban fighters stormed into Kabul, took control of the presidential palace and toppled Afghanistan’s government. As panic and uncertainty swept the city, Abdul and his family boarded a plane at Hamid Karzai International Airport. ‘Flight attendants announced, tighten our belts, then we will fly soon,’ Abdul said through an interpreter. The family, Abdul’s wife and six of their children who range in age from 4 years old to 20, obeyed along with hundreds of other people onboard Qatar Airways flight 7323. ‘And then nothing happened.’ Welcome to: ‘EXODUS TO AMERICA’
