Reporting one of those seriously now. we do know that they have medical capability at that airport, because our military does not travel without it. the next question might be do they need to air flight anybody out? how will this look on folding? we had another guest on last hour who knew 13 afghans who were hurt after the bombing. all of this coming hours after a dire warning from the state department to leave the area near the airport. listen to the horrific account from one witness. >> i am a...
