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.

The new Disney ride in Paris.
Just saw this for the first time tonight.
Class photo. Everyone is looking at the camera.
Bump
This plane is full of Taliban invaders .
They jumped the airport fence and slide right in with out a check ..
These idiot military personnel just sent hundreds of terrorists to the US on a direct flight .
Jesus .
Our adversaries are ROTFL.
-----------------------------
You are right, not a mask in sight! Additionally I doubt that the local Afghani Karens hounded any of these young men to vaccinate either.
They are jumping the fences at the airport.
They have no idea who the hell all these Muslims young men are .
You dont think the Taliban had their men muscle there way on and jumping on this plane .
You are as naive as the Bidenistas and the military
They should have been thrown off .
Now these Taliban plants are coming to a neighborhood near you and me.
Biden will have to build a mosque for them on tax money. America is truly finished.
Once again we must go to the foreign press to get news about U.S..
This is because American citizens have been broken down into powerless subjects. We are going to have to fight hard to get back our freedoms.
Take them to Andrews Air Force Base issue each one an M-4 with 2 bandoliers and assorted company weapons give them all free uber rides to the Federal Triangle and set them loose with the exact same screening as if they had crossed the border illegally.
Max payload of the C-17 is 170,000 pounds.
640 Afghans, at 200 pounds each (which is unlikely) is 128,000 pounds.
Hardly overloaded.
—”People risked their lives working for us. “
A safe bet that many did work for the US.
Long ago and far away I worked with an ARVN whose parents were murdered by the NVA.
I feel sorry for any non-Biden voters they kill.
If these Men had been brave enough to take on the Taliban they wouldn’t be crammed in that plane.
I hope they all peed before takeoff.
Where all d’women?
This don’t look like the Titanic to me...
Odd, now that you have mentioned it, I find myself hoping that they didn't pee before takeoff.
