Picture Of The Day
C-17 jet carrying 640 Afghan refugees that left Kabul on Sunday night as the Taliban claimed the city. The flight landed in Qatar. The refugees ran up the half-open ramp while US forces were preparing for take-off, according to an unnamed defense official cited by Defense One on Monday. At least one other C-17 has departed the area
WNU Editor: The above picture came from this news story .... Overloaded but airborne: Incredible photo shows 640 Afghans inside 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 (Daily Mail).
Another pic that says a thousand words (see below).Different flight, but one that @realRobertCByrd let me know about from a public board. Pic taken by a contractor, and they truly say a 1000 words.
