Afghans are trying to flee their country in droves following the take-over of their land by the Taliban over the weekend.
At least two U.S. C-17 cargo jets have flown out of Kabul, and photos show one of them with 640 Afghans sitting on the floor. The jet is equipped to carry 150 soldiers comfortably, but can take up to 171,000 lbs of cargo.
The Afghan government fell to the Taliban and the nation's president, Ashraf Ghani, fled his country on Sunday.
