Default Obese passengers caused crash of Air France 447

There is a scale they use. First, they calculate how many passengers, then
how many of those are adult males, and so forth. There is always a fudge
factor built in.


But how would they know how much the male adults weigh?

Every single flight is calculated closely because planes
have crashed in the past due to being overweight for their power.


Do planes really crash because of excessive weight?

I guess not...the USA still has some planes in the air....
