Americans awoke yesterday to television pictures of desperate refugees falling to their deaths from departing U.S. transport aircraft. It was a chilling echo of the heartbreaking images of those bodies plummeting to earth from the Twin Towers two decades ago.
The chaotic scenes at Kabul airport evoked memories of the last helicopter to take off from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon when the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam in April 1975.
