The first photos have emerged of crammed US cargo jets with nearly hundreds of terrified Afghan refugees on board after they ran onto the aircraft before military personnel could close ramps on them on Sunday in their escape of the Taliban.
The US has so far flown at least two C-17 cargo jets out of Kabul and more flights are expected throughout Monday night and later this week despite chaos on the ground on Monday which involved eight people dying and flights being halted.
On Sunday, one of the first flights out was RCH 871 which flew from Kabul to Qatar.
As it was preparing to take off on Sunday, hundreds of terrified Afghan nationals ran onto the plane, up the ramp, and settling on board.

Glad to see some women and children made it out, thought only males escaped.
Someone should tell Biden they’re crammed together without masks.
At least there are some women there. We haven’t seen any in the crowd pictures from the airport.
I see people on the plane with full face covering. How opposed to the Taliban are they? Imagine someone on that plane with a suicide belt. Not that it would take down the plane, but that’s a dense crowd.
Terrifying nightmare
Lord, have mercy.
In a gentler, more civilized time, those cowardly, military age men would have been told to pick up a weapon and man the line to do their duty or be summarily shot on the spot. These are not those times. Pity that.
So the US is preparing to take 30,000 Afghan refugees in TX and WI airbases. Then what? Off to freebie land with the illegals? Full college, medical, cigs and beer in public housing?
But at least they weren’t on top of the US Embassy, so it was no Saigon!
Callsign was REACH 871.
Reach is a common callsign for C-17s.
How many Taliban?
Why do these people have to come to the west? Why can’t they settle in their own area? Saudi Arabia? Jordan? UAE? Qutar? Why do they have to come over here? Settle them in the great enlightened countries of the Middle East.
If they fly them to Methico they could avoid a lot of paperwork to come across.
Send them to Obama’s place in Taxachusetts.
Xi Jinping is certainly getting his money’s worth from his investment in Hunter.
Sadness.

REINSTATE TRUMP AS THE LEGITMATE POTUS!!
Payday!
Appears that about 630 of them are men of fighting age.
That's western civilization. It's not universal.
Neither is "the Golden Rule." That's western civilization too.
I would have preferred the aircraft be full of Americans first.
