No US military pilot would try to take off with a bunch of civilians clinging onto the outside of their craft, unless they were under direct fire and imminent threat of losing the craft. This is not how we do business folks. Prior service and active duty members speak up. This is just more sensationalized propaganda video engineered to invoke unrational emotional response, just like Chinese civilians spontaneously falling over dead in the streets from the coof. We are being set up for another major okie doke. Stay alert, stay alive!

Prior USAF here. Been to Afghanistan. When shit hits the fan, you button up the aircraft and GTFO! Yes having people anywhere near the aircraft with engines running is insane, but the last thing you want is for one of them to damage the aircraft and leave you all stuck. So. You. GOOOO!!!! And I have no clue as to how all those people got there like that. I'm assuming some security checkpoints were literally overwhelmed. No idea.
Probably let in just like Jan 6th.
At this point there are no security checkpoints. People like you flew Marines like me in on a C-130 and out on a C-17. The most disappointing thing of all this for me is to see just how insane everyone is. Im all for being skeptical but this place has gotten retarded. Best of luck friend, we are on our own now.
I rode in a few myself, but I can tell you when the wheels up command is given, the pilots go, they don't wait for much of anything.
Thank you, Marine!
Place as in the forum, country, world? Could you elaborate?
This seems like a good assessment of the decision making. Can't risk your own life to save people going crazy.
Thank you for providing sanity to this discussion.
NOT EVERYTHING IS A MOVIE OR CONSPIRACY
We aborted more than a few flights that had only bird strikes. One runway worker Fodded an engine by being stupid... our pilots likely would not have gone.
You didnt have Taliban surrounding the plane then, did you...
