Washington: The US Air Force has said that the number of people on board a cargo plane that was widely circulated on social media, packed with refugees from Afghanistan, is higher than the earlier count. far more than 823. This is a record in terms of the number of passengers on this aircraft.

Air Mobility Command said in a brief statement on Friday that the number of people on board was initially added to 640 when the C-17 aircraft took off from Afghanistan’s capital Kabul last Sunday. But then the number of children sitting in people’s laps could not be counted inadvertently.

This number of 823 passengers is a record for a C-17 aircraft, the statement said. The plane took off after the Taliban’s capture of Kabul when thousands of Afghans and foreigners were arriving at the airport trying to somehow take off.

People were very worried
One sitting in the aircraft told that the refugees were very worried before the plane took off, but they were happy as soon as the plane took off. We were also happy to take him with us. He could not believe that he had left Afghanistan.
