[Swordmaker]

My original point to Swordmaker is that a plane can fly even when it’s unbalanced with a rearward shift to the center of gravity. The accident report said the Bagram 747 could have flown without crashing in spite of the rearward cargo shift if the hydraulics hadn’t been damaged.

The Bagra 747 could have flown if two or three of the vehicles had shifted AND the pilot had control of the pitch surfaces in the tail and had full control of operating engines. Where was the pilot of TWA-800??? Oh, he was hurtling toward the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere below his airplane without any control at all. . .
