The US has so far flown at least two C-17 cargo jets out of Kabul and more flights are expected throughout Monday night and later this week despite chaos on the ground on Monday.

Plane no. RCH 871 took off from Kabul on Sunday night after the Taliban claimed the Afghan city. The C-17 jet was due to take US embassy personnel but terrified Afghan civilians ran onboard. They jumped onto the plane's ramp before the flight crew could stop them, and they took off with them. Initial audio from the plane estimated 800 were on board but officials say the true number was 640.
