By Matt Petrillo, CBS Philadelphia September 8, 2021 What was supposed to be a standard trip to Kabul for a Philadelphia woman turned into a harrowing escape as the Taliban took over Afghanistan. Haisha Hahsy travels to Kabul every few years to visit family, and her flight to Afghanistan last month was no different. The 22-year-old Roxborough resident and Philadelphia pre-med student soon realized her trip was going to be cut short as the Taliban moved in. She was due to come back to Philadelphia two days after the invasion happened.
