BREAKING: Pres. Biden to deliver remarks on attack outside Kabul airport at 5 p.m. ET.
As the Pentagon confirmed that"a number of U.S. service members” were killed in the"complex attack" in Kabul, Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell recalled reporting from the Abbey Gate on Wednesday right alongside U.S. Marines working to control the crowds desperate to get inside.
Pannell described seeing thousands of people knee-dip in sewage water outside the airport. He said the evacuation operation at the Abbey Gate"relied on the bravery of individuals, of servicemen, women, going to the very front lines, going out, grabbing people who were eligible and pulling them in."
