Evacuation on Channel 4 - anyone watching it?

Haunting.

It's about the evacuation of Kabul with interviews from the military personnel who were there, evacuees and military camera team footage.

It sounds like chaos. So many people wanting to flee and taking their lives in their hands.

People trying to hand babies over to young troops. Troops having to decide who would be able to flee or not.

The Paras having to work with the Taliban - who they had been fighting not too long before.

One RAF officer described it as like taking a 6th form trip to Kabul.

3rd part starts soon

Just talking about the suicide bombing at the airport.
It's heartbreaking to see the young service personnel talking about what they saw.

I'd recommend people to watch it - it's a very powerful documentary about what happened from some very raw perspectives of the personnel who were there - and you can see how PTSD can happen and has happened.
