Human remains have been found in the wheel well of a US Air Force C-17 plane that departed Kabul airport on Monday, The Washington Pos reported on Tuesday.

The plane’s crew declared an emergency while leaving the capital’s airport after its landing gear wouldn’t go up and later found the human remains in the wheel well. The discovery came after the plane diverted to another location and landed, two officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

It was not immediately clear whether the plane involved was the same one depicted in viral videos that appeared to show two people falling from a departing C-17 that was climbing from the airfield. A third official said on Monday that it is believed that “absolutely” people fell from the plane and that the video was real.

The US military closed the airport on Monday after that incident. Media reported that US troops opened fire in the airport, with seven people were reportedly killed.

US troops reopened the runway just before midnight in Kabul, said Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, a senior official at the Pentagon.
