The Kiwi Commander in charge of New Zealand's evacuation effort in Afghanistan has spoken for the first time about just how difficult the mission was.
Group Captain Nick Olney compared the rescue to pulling people from a mosh pit, and says they were lucky not to have been at the airport when the first suicide bomber struck.
Flying over a city under Taliban control, our Defence Force (NZDF) lands at Kabul's International Airport, taxiing past lines of people boarding aircraft from around the world in a race to evacuate as many as possible.

The U.S. intelligence community does not believe it can resolve a debate over whether a Chinese laboratory incident was the source of COVID-19 without more information, U.S. officials said in a declassified summary on Friday.
U.S. officials said only China can help solve questions about the true origins of the virus that has now killed 4.6 million people worldwide. "China's cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment of the origins of COVID-19," they said.
