Probably in hotels until they get their steady government check and then move out into society.Quote:

This article says they will resume the evacuation. A lot of refugees coming here now.
"Taylor added that the Pentagon’s goal, which is slated to take approximately 24 hours to roll out, is to evacuate approximately 5,000-9,000 passengers out of Kabul daily. This plan would require flying one military cargo aircraft out of Kabul per hour."

Just horrifying.
That explains the malfunction indicator in the cockpit. Poor aircrew has to deal with this.

I am assuming there was some kind of malfunction indicator in the cockpit. I worked avionics in the USAF, but I may be wrong. The most likely knowledgeable person on the subject would be a C-17 Crew Chief. The Crew Chief is an enlisted person that oversees the serviceability of the aircraft from a maintenance point of view. The USAF will probably issue a report eventually as some kind of A/C mishap.Quote:

You have to have some intelligence to understand what your survival rate would even be, issues with hypoxia at altitude, holding on in 400mph wind, etc. etc.Quote:

Estimating the future consequences of potential decisions, well.... lets just say they didn't get a participation star in that class.
