How many people fit in these 12 helicopters? Air attack? Why wouldn't they have F16's take out the air threat? There are tunnels and 5 story deep garages all over the Capitol.
This makes absolutely no sense. If they needed fast evacuation with room for lots of people and a fast trip to a safe distance, they need the V 22. 12 helicopters wouldn't make a dent in the 535 members and the 10,000 other folks at the capitol.

These are Bell 212's, they can take 8 people not including a winchman or door gunner but its a bit of a squeeze
