Full article title: Overloaded but airborne: Incredible photo shows 640 Afghans on a US C-17 cargo jet - designed to carry 150 - after they ran on before soldiers could close ramp and pilot decided to take off from Kabul and save them all
The first photos have emerged of crammed US cargo jets with 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.

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT they security screened them all. ONE Taliban with a suicide vest would KILL EVERYONE ON BOARD AND THE AIRCRAFT AS WELL.
WAS MARK MILLY FLYING THIS PLANE OR SOMETHING? UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE!
HAVE WE GONE INSANE? THEY SHOULD'VE MADE THEM ALL STRIP NAKED BEFORE BOARDING.
GREAT MINDS LIE IN THE SAME GUTTER! ; )
I was beginning to worry! I’m glad you checked them all out to make sure they were who they said they were.
What’s the altitude of Kabul?
Dude, step away from the caps lock.
So now we’re going to willfully import the muj... Great.
Perhaps, if they stayed and picked up a rifle...
“How do you start an impeachment...Hey, they aren’t coming here are they? Probably half are Taliban or other terrorists...”

A substantial number may well be COMMON CRIMINALS who came from the Taliban’s release of all prisoners from Afghani prisons. COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU!
The following is foaf
off another news/ message board
from on ground report.
Journalists
are being executed outright
Christians are being executed
Missionaries executed
Westerners being executed
Any who worked with or for westerners being executed
Those trying to get to the airport being executed.
Girls 12 and above given as booty to tallies for sex slavery and marriage.
We will not get the majority of those thousands of u.s
citizens evacuated imho.
Pentagon presser knows nothing about our citizens
and when asked referred the questions to state department.
So it’s a good bet those afganies flown
to Wisconsin and Texas are probably mostly talies
to be let loose on our country imho
If they were trying to get as many out as possible
why fly halfway around the globe
instead of somewhere closer
where they could minimize the turn around time
and maximize how many could be evacuated?
No good reason so those evax flights
have suspicious motives imho.
And most of our citizens will be never be heard of or talked about again imho
And our forces on the ground might not make it out of afganistan imho.
Pray for citizens
I see we have a bleeding heart here. Do you know how they vetted the 640 people on the plane? They didn't vet anyone - the article specifically states that 800 people rushed the plane and they had to kick out 160 to take off.
Take your fake virtue-signaling somewhere else. Get ready for most people in America to dismiss your whining and bleating. The pity parade is over as things become more desperate and chaotic.
If you are so concerned about it I recommend you take the first flight to Kabul to straighten it out.
Other than Burkas, WHERE ARE THE MASKS?
DUDE, I’M GOING BLIND. I’VE BEEN THROUGH THIS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE, I JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE DOING IT AGAIN NOW. CATCH ME ANOTHER TIME WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT, DUDE.
YA DISAPPOINT ME BENNY. (I SINCERELY HOPE YA DON’T GIVE A RAT’S RUMP)
No sweat, a C-17 can carry an Abrams battle tank, weight 60-67 tons.
640 Afganis wouldn’t be more than 140 lbs x 640 / 2000, or about 44 tons.
Piece of cake, as long as they don’t all move to one side of the plane.
No masks!!!!!
Disgusting.
Drop the ramp and climb then an immelmann and climb again.
Put out the trash. We don’t need any more.
Not the Titanic.
>>Look at how few women and children afghans that they are bringing in in this huge group:<<
They’ll marry democrat women.
LOL — my recent Allegiant flight to Orlando looked similar, except more Mickey Mouse ears on the return leg.
