In 1975, a C-130A set up to carry its maximum load of 92 passengers plus a
crew of 6, made a last-ditch dash to freedom from Saigon and took-off with
an incredible 452 people on board.
I heard that back in the 1940s a DC-3 airlifted an entire village of 86 to
escape the wrath of a nearby volcano.
With its double decks, I figure an A380 could handle 2,000 refugees...
