>> yeah, elated is an understatement. youre right, the play had played for 15 months without playing to an empty seat. then on march 11th, all of broadway had to turn its lights off. it was, needless to say, economically devastating. not just for people who work in theaters, but for the, you know, the restaurants, the hotels, cab drivers, hot dog vendors, anyone who depends on the numbers of people who come to new york just for the theater. as for the cast and crew, weve kept in touch with each ...

Live shots from here, i think. but its definitely chaotic. its definitely dangerous. i will say this. the taliban appears to be trying to disperse the crowds, and there are crowds there of young men who seem to be just engaging in criminal activity. i dont know if you heard that. theyre kind of running towards the taliban and then running away from them again, almost like its a game, but when theres bullets firing like that, theyre firing to disperse the crowds. theyre not targeting people. they...

Out of the country but the situation there is, i mean, were looking at the video and these photos and the situation is chaotic is really an understatement at this point. there are afghans storming it. it has made it unsafe for the military to land or take off, have any planes take off out of that airport. so right now, theyre trying to get control over the situation so they can continue the evacuation. that is really where all eyes are. >> what is the time line on that, court? what is the estima...
