The video on the Fed-ex japan crash is really bad. Hopefully the crew were able to get out.

The pilot and co-pilot aboard a FedEx cargo plane were killed when the plane burst into flames Monday while landing at Tokyo's Narita airport in Japan, airport and hospital officials said.

The local news is saying that 14 people were killed in the Pilatus PC-12, and preliminary reports say that it may have been overloaded.

Three families, including seven adults, and seven childred died while going on vacation. Such a tragedy... :'(

For an aircraft designed to safely carry between 7 and 9 pax... :-/

9 passenger seats, plus copilot seat suitable for a passenger. One out of the 14 was 1 year old, so you are left with 13 adults and big children for a plane equipped for 11 of those. 2 of those big children were 3, and the other 4 children were 4, 5, 7 and 9.

I don't think overall weight was an issue. Most of the passengers were "small".

However.. considering that there were 14 people on board, and that they probably had substantial cargo (ski trip)... this has CoG written all over it.
