Probably because it carried 154 tons of cargo. -- Cheers, John B. |

It simply does not compute. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

It simply does not compute. in fairness, marginal freight such as mail goes on a 'space available' basis. If the plane is full it goes in the next empty ULD slot, sorta like flying standby, at a lower rate. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

If the plane is full it goes in the next empty ULD slot, sorta like flying standby, at a lower rate. While that is true in many cases the entire luggage area is filled with boxes of mail. This was part of the fire hazard I talked about when that plane disappeared into nowhere. The battery exploded setting a fire. This fire was directly beneath the electronics wiring for the entire aircraft. It is also directly adjacent to the luggage compartment. The fire beneath the pilots compartment would have overcome the pilots almost immediately. Since the pilots compartment is almost unbreakable and can only be opened from inside so-long aircraft. The fires in the luggage compartment would have dumped the smoke directly into the passenger area overcoming them in very short order. I understand that someone took me serious about using the ship's batteries as a power source and they now use ground power units as they should have from the beginning. |
