These planes have crashed simply from all passengers in a half-full plane switching to the left side or all moving to the front or back of the plane. So if a pax comes up with 100kg of luggage you were not expecting, it can affect aircraft trim enough to put you in the danger zone. | |

| May 29, 2017 at 21:12 | comment | added | UnrecognizedFallingObject | @Calchas -- what aircraft type was that? | |
| May 29, 2017 at 20:26 | comment | added | Calchas | Last time I flew on Mokulele all my bags went on my lap; there was nowhere else on the plane to store any of my bags. It was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately I travel light! | |
