speaking of cnn anderson cooper running for cover, running cover for the biden team not knowing how many americans are in afghanistan. >> i never registered with the embassy in any of the countries i visited so i'm not surprised embassy wouldn't know how many americans are in country at any time. >> the ultimate narcissism because he never registered, that makes all the sense in the world. i don't know. maybe it is different when you go to paris and kabul. is it understandable the biden administration, this is been stunning, has really no idea how many americans are in kabul or afghanistan? >> if that were the only thing he didn't know or couldn't call to mind is the exact number of americans, gave us around number or had a vague idea, not what is happening but what is happening and where he is at any given moment we could forgive them for that but he fumbled the ball every step of the way so far as adding insult to industry, the way he handled this thing is another shot in the heart. >> anderson cooper is a nice guy, trying to do his best but strange to find an excuse like that, 10 to 4

. >> it is funny two, anderson cooper i think is nice guy. and meant him once your ago. he's probably trying to do his best, but it must be strange to have to try to find an excuse like that when 40,000 people ar effectively being held hostage. >> no, i think anderson cooper is a hostage victim himself to be honest. i really do great i think the whole liberal media are just hostages to a narrative they have set up. biden has these perfect politicians totally agree with if this was the only thing that was the problem, okay, fine, whatever, but this is one of so many things in the fact that anderson cooper was making so much hullabaloo out of it. it's like are you desperate much ? there are other problems beside the fact that biden may or may not know exactly how many americans are stranded. the point is american art freaking stranded, go get them. >> that is all the time we have thank you for being with us and for your analysis. coming up, it's bumbling biden, the last bite is next. (vo) how do you know when you've found your team? whether you're winning, or just doing yo

anderson cooper spoke to one of the filmmakers behind this. >> i think some are like you know, it hasone on long enough, no one else should die over there, the afghans aren't appreciating us, time to leave. there is a lot of that. but then there is also a lot of what was it all for. i think that there are tentative answers about what it was all for, but those answers i'm not sure will emotionally satisfy people that have suffered in combat. >> were you surprised the speed with which things fell apart? >> no, i mean i was there in 1996 when the taliban took over initially. and i was in jalalabad and staying at the one hotel in town, and the taliban delegation was across the breakfast room sort of glaring at me suspiciously and they were negotiating the handover of jalalabad and it happened very quickly. so they didn't fight their way across afghanistan except for a few locations. it was all negotiated and the afghan soldiers who weren't supplied with ammunition or even food or salaries because all that stuff was getting stolen by commanders, they were told by the taliban, look, if you

earlier anderson cooper spoke with an afghan american who was in kabul visiting family when the taliban took over. and she was able to leave the country with her mother and is back in the united states. she described the chaos outside kabul's airport. >> once we got closer, we got out of the car and went up to pass the taliban and they actually stopped us. they took a look at my mom's passport and saw that we were americans and they let us through. >> and then what happened? >> we kept walking and when we got to the top, we just see a whole crowd of people pushing and pulling each other and like all we could think about is this what we're going to have to go through? maybe if we tell them we are citizens we might be able go around all the people, but no, we had to fight just as much. some people had no paperwork. and there was kids just crying. sorry, i'm getting emotional. they were just crying and fainting and people were all bloody and having strokes. probably something that i would never expect to see. >> some u.s. companies are moving to help people fleeing the taliban. verizon is

joining us now is cnn's anderson cooper who spent so much time reporting in haiti over the years includingter the 2010 earthquake. anderson, it's great to have you on for this. i thought about what your impressions of this are, having spent so much time there and just thinking about how much suffering can one country take between the earthquake and the storms and the assassinations and now this? >> yeah, it's really, it's extraordinary to think about the kind of successive waves of agony that have hit haiti. the storm obviously has just added misery to people who have been sleeping on the street since the earthquake. you've got some 10,000 people, nearly 10,000 people said to be injured. 60,000 buildings destroyed in the southwestern parts of haiti and lakay. the thing about it is just the difficulty of getting there. you know, when the earthquake hit in port-au-prince which killed the exact number will never be known, but anywhere from 200,000 to 300,000 people, it was at least the capital. there was an airport there, you could directly fly into as soon as the airport was open. this is in

he spoke to anderson cooper overnight. >> i think a lot read on facebook that the americans were takingfghans and taking them out of the country, so they didn't just want to try their luck. and this is on the road on the side of the airport, outside the airport. so, the taliban basically were doing crowd control. i watched several taliban fighters walk around with sticks, they used the butt of their rifles to hit people and chase them around and shoe everybody around. they just wanted everybody off the streets. i even watched one taliban fighter after firing some shots in the general direction of crowd smiling at another taliban fighter. like a game for them or something. >> again, this is what the photographer said was happening when people tried to get to the airport. which again is the only way out of the country. he says he saw at least six people hurt including a woman and her child. let's go to streets of kabul right now. we're joined again by cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward there. as always, we want to know exactly what you're seeing what the change is this mo

i'm anderson cooper. we continue coverage out of the breaking news out of afghanistan. a horrifying chapter in the crisis. two explosions outside the kabul airport. some images are graphic and disturbing. these are new images from the aftermath outside the airport. sources telling cnn the u.s. personnel are among the wounded. the extent, we don't know. a taliban spokesman says 13 people are dead, 52 wounded. we can't verify that report or the nationalities of the victims. the taliban also says the culprits will be brought to justice. it remains to be seen if they have those capabilities. there's been no claim of responsibilities. a senior official says it points to an isis affiliate. one explosion an apparent suicide attack took place at the abbey gate at the airport. another blast was nearby outside or near a hotel. not clear what that means for the final stage of the evacuation. there have been reports dozens of americans need a military escort still to the airport. through taliban-held territory in kabul and despite warnings of more attacks being possible. the pentag
