Massive US cargo planes are taking off with just 100 passengers from Kabul - despite ability to carry 600
Overnight, the US only put 2,000 people on 18 C-17 planes - an average of 110 per flight. This despite a single C-17 being used on Sunday to fly out 640 Afghans because the crew refused to leave them behind. Just a fraction of that number have made it onto the most recent flights, despite US pledge of 9,000 per day. In one shocking case, a German plane with room for 150 departed Kabul on Tuesday with just seven on board.
