American vlogger Drew Binsky, in his recent YouTube video, described the experience of being stuck at Islamabad airport at the time of Operation Sindoor.
In the clip, he said, “It’s an uneasy feeling going to the airport not knowing if we’ll actually be flying out or not. I’d say there’s about a 50-50 chance.”
His travel companion added, “I’d say it’s slightly less than 50-50, but I’m hopeful, though also pessimistic.”
On their way to the airport, Brisky pointed to a wall and stated, “This is the area that was bombed by India today.”
When they arrived, Brisky stated, “The airport is clearly closed. Workers are camped outside, the flight is cancelled, and the screen shows all flights cancelled.”
