The US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III safely evacuated about 640 Afghans from Kabul. C-17 arrived at Kabul airport to deliver evacuation equipment and was not going to take on such a heavy load.

Before the crew could unload the cargo, the plane was surrounded by hundreds of Afghan civilians who violated the security perimeter and broke aboard. As the situation worsened, the crew decided to take off.
