That Il-76 was cargo-configured, and since there are few roads in most of
Africoonia, there is a quick buck to be made hauling kaffirs as cargo.
Mbongo and company pay on a per-pound basis and they simply sit atop the
frozen beef sides and bags of coffee beans, hanging on to whatever they can
during takeoff and landing. Since no one was belted in when the rear doors
popped, explosive decompression produced the "peashooter effect" and 200
natives did a mass skydive...
