1/10: Korean load shift

Just so you know why your motherboard hasn't arrived yet. "Hey, where should I put this pallet of anvils?" "Just load it on the back, it should be fine."

New regulations require mothers-in-law to remain seated until takeoff.

Heh. How the heck did this happen, anyway? Is there a news article somewhere that accompanied the photo?

I wonder if the loadmaster is still employed? Hmmm... do civilian air freight carriers even have loadmasters?

Dude, at least the load shifted while the plane was still on the ground. There was one incident where the cargo load shifted shortly after the plane took off, and the plane took a nice little nosedive into the ground. Really terrible...

edit: here's a story related to the above.

Never willing to be second-best to the Koreans, our own Air Force has this offering:

Actually, as I understand it, this happened during unloading and several people were "trapped" in the airplane (probably workers) for an hour or two.

What if...
 

there had been an AirService truck loading supplies onto the plane? Or people loading/unloading luggage onto a cart? Or a fuel truck -- though they tend to stay far far away from the plane itself when dispensing -- anyone know if there is a rule about how close a fule truck is allowed to get to the planes?
