The US Air Force concluded that a C-17 aircraft crew operating out of Kabul's airport acted appropriately in departing the airport even though human remains were discovered in the wheel well when the plane landed
The review found that, given the circumstances at Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 16, 2021, where pilots were trying to operate amid the chaos, the crew acted appropriately, the US Air Force said in a statement released Monday. They also said the crew used sound judgment"in their decision to get airborne as quickly as possible when faced with an unprecedented and rapidly deteriorating security situation.
After seeking appropriate care and services to help cope with any trauma from this unprecedented experience, the crew returned to flight status," the US Air Force also said Monday.Thousands of Afghans were desperate to leave the country in the face of the Taliban takeover after the group took control of Kabul one day earlier. Civilians rushed the airport's tarmac and video at the time showed civilians clinging to military transport planes as they took off.
