Re: [cactuswings 3905] Re: N807DH KIGM-KMIA

I think it was reported that the load shift had caused considerable damage to a bulkhead.

Shame, it was nice seeing an Active DC-8 knocking around Miami again...

Hi Geoff,

I'm not aware of the details of this specific incident but it's likely that some cargo became unsecured and moved in flight thus changing the balance (C of G) and causing considerable stress to the airframe.  Think of the Kalitta 747 in the Middle East a few years ago.

Cheers,

Duncan
