VERY PLANNED

https://twitter.com/josie_huang/status/1430670696011599876

HAPPENING

details about the Kabul airport explosion. Fox News person added that it was apparently a suicide vest detonation

Happened at the Abbey Gate

Pentagon briefing about it slated for 10:30 Eastern Time (25 mins from now)

MORE details

god damn it

"Dozens of casualties"
PICTURES of aftermath of Kabul explosion

"Several injured in an explosion near Kabul airport gate." -- via twitter.com/AsvakaNews/

"This is truly a nightmare scenario"

https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1430896082947506178

at least three US troops injured

First potential estimate of Kabul causalities is 11 dead

So I guess the Abbey Gate and Hotel explosions were separate (coordinated?) attacks

POSTPONED because of course

"At least 13 people have been killed in an explosion outside Kabul airport, a Taliban official has told Reuters news agency. Children are among those killed and Taliban guards have been wounded, the spokesperson said." -- twitter.com/SkyNews/

🔥🔥

(Warning GORE)

VIDEO on the ground in Kabul showing the aftermath of the explosion

"US & civilian causalities"

😔

More video from Kabul

https://twitter.com/HeshmatAlavi/status/1430910642429435908

I can’t describe this scene

https://twitter.com/asvakanews/status/1430909955834408963

I covered a lot of grizzly and bloody moments over the years but I still can’t handle…. That.

52 wounded

the situation as it stands at the moment

everything cancelled again

a lot of panic

To put it in simple terms: THIS IS THE BAD THING that EVERYONE was WORRIED about happening at Kabul airport.

Also since the story earned a PINNED thread on 4chan, you know it's serious business

"He was close to the blast, but was saved by not being in the sewage canal at the time. Says chaos is increasing."

CONTEXT of where the bombing happened

https://twitter.com/IanPannell/status/1430931035194335232

Compared to this

actually give me five seconds in microsoft paint

🚨BEFORE AND AFTER🚨:

KABUL AIRPORT. The clip on the left is from August 25th, whereas the one on the right is from the aftermath today.

Hope that helps bring perspective.

"I am hearing that there is another attack at HKIA's North Gate"

"Reuters reports an Italian defence source says shots were fired at an Italian military plane that was flying out of Kabul."

https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1430873570675204096

Anywhere from 30 to 40 now reported dead from the bombings

120 injuries

another report about US military people being killed

BIG KABUL UPDATE

"Our sources on the ground tell us gates are being welded shut."

🚨🚨🚨🚨FOUR Marines killed, THREE wounded in today's Kabul explosion, per WSJ wsj.com/articles/afgha…

😔

no time to cringe at this

"a number of" were killed

who knows what's happening there at this point. All of it is just bad.

That's unsurprising at this point

NOT TRYING TO DUNK

But LOOK at how optimistic Cindy McCain (tried) sounding when endorsing Joe Biden last year.

Compared to where we are, a year later.

🚨🚨🚨🚨THIRD REPORTED KABUL EXPLOSION, "COMPLEX ATTACK" HAPPENING

🚨🚨🚨MARINE causalities have gone up

from FOUR to apparently TEN

^^ (MAYBE MORE than ten dead U.S. service members)

yeah I'm gonna remember today

DONT CANCEL on us now

there's no words to describe it all

FREE ROUND OF FACT CHECKING PICTURES AND VIDS

CALIFORNIA PEOPLE feel free to ask Kamala all the questions you want.

Tomorrow at the... Cow Palace parking lot.

TWO NEW EXPLOSIONS AROUND KABUL

Causalities are up to 11 marines and a navy medic

that clears the schedule

"UK animal charity staff caught up in deadly Kabul blast" nypost.com/2021/08/26/uk-…

Don't forget

CANCELED because obviously

IT'S ON

"Despite this attack we're continuing the mission"

"We believe ISIS will continue these attacks"

.... O__O

I left to run an errand. I got multiple DMs....

NOPE. Nope. Nope. Yeah I'm on the IMPEACHMENT TRAIN now. politico.com/news/2021/08/2…

STOP THE CIRCUS

Yeah by this standard Biden needs to leave the oval office

“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list”

FOLLOWED BY

"Biden officials defended the move"

yeah. get the hell out of the White House.

“They had to do that because of the security situation the White House created by allowing the Taliban to control everything outside the airport”

LIKE

DONT EVEN GIVE A 5 PM SPEECH BIDEN

JUST GO

"Still, that U.S. officials handed over a list of Afghan allies and American citizens and residents shows the extent to which they outsourced security of the airport’s outer perimeter to the Taliban"

ALL ON #WOMENSEQUALITYDAY

HOW WILL THE US MILITARY PRIORITIZE 🎪🤡

yeah i need a minute

GOOD TO KNOW

THANKS TALIBAN

HEY I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS

WILD RIDE NEVER ENDS

Reactions

Biden says he'll counterattack ISIS

this is not an exaggeration

"FLASHBACK: General Milley said Bagram air base 'was not necessary tactically' for Afghanistan withdrawal. Why hasn't Biden fired him yet?" thepostmillennial.com/flashback-mill…

after today's disaster, Byrd seems like an afterthought

... fire Milley first and then come back around for the rest

To be direct: Sam Harris is saying he regrets backing Joe Biden

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH

WELL THEN

AHAHAHAHAHA supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
