re: #350 Hecuba’s daughter

Given that subsequent information shows the plane can carry only 188 passengers, that would mean at least 426 flights would be needed to evacuate everyone who helped us.

That’s how many seats you can put in a C-17. Stuffing them in shoulder to shoulder on a cargo floor, a lot more can fit. The record is 1088 in an El Al 747 (maximum 514 seats) during Operation Solomon in 1991.
