Worlds biggest helicopter shot down in Chechnya in 2002 killing 127 people. Still hard to believe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Khankala_Mi-26_crash

CH-47 is only supposed to carry some 38. In the Falklands, BN carried over 80 at once.

You can cram a lot of people into a space if you need to.
