The body of a dead Afghan was found in the landing gear of a US Air Force plane that hastily took off from Kabul airport on Monday as thousands desperately tried to climb aboard even as it taxied down the runway. Human remains were found inside the C-17 transport plane’s wheel well after pilots were forced to make an emergency landing in a nearby country because they were unable to retract the landing gear, sources told the Washington Post.

The same thing happened back in 1975 with a flight out of Saigon. They found a person frozen to death in the wheel well upon landing.
This just sick and saddening.

... were forced to make an emergency landing in a nearby country because they were unable to retract the landing gear, ... An emergency landing with 600+ civilians seated in the back without any straps?
Biden, decisions create action. And you are no where near the ones that made these decisions.
Just the guy that reads the teleprompter to an adoring media audience.

I was recently at a military aircraft museum. I studied every way I could see for someone to fit. There is only room in there for the landing gear.

The poor guy knew what horrible fate awaited him and others under the Taliban. He looked at his options, and he figured this was the better choice. Can’t say I blame him.

Can’t say I blame him.Yeah, many of these guys saw the coming horrors so they kissed their wives and kids goodbye and said, "Daddy's gotta look out for Number One!"

“he figured this was the better choice.”
Would a better choice have been to stab a couple of the bad guys?

If he was that scared of the Taliban, how about picking up a gun and defend your country... Coward !
