Leaving their home never to return with only the clothes on their backs

For anyone curious, the current world record for most passengers on a single plane is El Al Boeing 747 in 1991 with 1088. They were refugees being evacuated from Ethiopia to Israel. The number includes 2 births that took place midflight.

Not sure if any of these flights broke or will break that record, but it wouldn't surprise me it if did.

There were people literally clinging to the outside of the plane as it was taking off
