For the conversion disabled, this lady was carrying 20 lbs. (9 kg) of silicone times 2 up front. It's amazing she was able to stand upright and fit down the aisle of the plane. Under airline carry-on rules she probably should have been asked to baggage check those things!

OSHA standards say that any one person should only lift so much weight. I am sure she is approaching that limit! LOL!

I realize that's what the article says, but I'm skeptical. I think they meant a total of 9 kg.

The type of silicone used in implants is 0.968 to 1.29 grams per cubic centimeter. That means that a 9,000 gram (or 9 kg) implant would be 6796 to 9297 cubic centimeters.

That's 384.3 to 567.3 cubic inches, or 1.66 to 2.45 gallons.

I can't imagine 2 gallons of silicone in each breast. I'm having a hard enough time envisioning 1 gallon in each.
