The Taliban were in full control of Kabul's international airport on Tuesday, after the last U.S. Plane left its runway, marking the end of America's longest war and leaving behind a quiet airfield and Afghans outside it still hoping to flee the insurgents' rule. Vehicles raced back and forth along the Hamid Karzai International Airport's sole runway on the northern, military side of the airfield.
