ftldave Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 From AXIOS.COM: "A C-17 cargo plane set a record by safely transporting 823 Afghan citizens — 200 more than originally thought — from the international airport in Kabul after the city was seized by the Taliban on Sunday. 823 passengers is an all-time record for a military aircraft that usually carries 134 passengers, including 54 on side seats and 80 on pallets on the floor." https://www.axios.com/c17-cargo-afghans-kabul-airport-a3bb9cb7-7750-43d6-9c32-8f79e405d3a3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers not really surprising. `specialy as there were also 64 kids among the 823 who weigh less than hydrogen breaking wind. What more can you tell me about the weight?
