The scenes that played out on the tarmac at Kabul airport on Monday will remain.
They symbolize the chaos that the Americans and their allies are leaving behind in Afghanistan after 20 years.
Thousands of people who block the tarmac for hours, hold on to aircraft taking off, fall to their deaths.
Pure despair, almost unbearable.
The runway has now been largely cleared, and planes can take off and land again.
Apparently the Americans have regained control - those over the city have long since given them over to the Taliban.
According to various sources, the Taliban now control access to the entrances on the civilian side of the airport and only allow people with exit papers to pass.
Satellite images show massive traffic jams near the airport entrance.
The BBC reported a witness of more than 10,000 people who were at the airport yesterday.
At the entrance gate, the Taliban tried with heavy weapons to prevent people from climbing over the barbed wire walls onto the runway.
One of the reasons for the tarmac storm was probably a rumor that anyone who wanted would be taken out of the country.
Hundreds of people managed to climb a half-open ramp of a US Air Force aircraft on Sunday.
The crew decided to take off anyway - with over 600 people on board.
The Bundeswehr was also able to carry out its first evacuation flight on Monday night - for a total of seven people.
No more made it to the A400M transport machine within the 30-minute slot.
A second flight was made on Tuesday afternoon, with a little over 100 people on board.
However, the situation at the airport is still extremely tense.
Reuters news agency reports that the Taliban at least allows people to return home from the airport unscathed. Nobody knows what kind of future awaits them there. Except maybe the new rulers of Afghanistan - the Taliban.
