    Unfortunately the death toll has increased.
    18 people are now confirmed dead, including all 3 crew members aboard the plane. At least 16 people are still missing.

    They don't have 250000 gallons on board. More like 35000. .but same disastrous result. Just be more accurate

    Specs on an MD-11 state that its maximum fuel capacity is 38,615 gallons,or 258,721 pounds.
    Remember that this flight was just about fully laden for a 8-8 1/2 hour flight plus reserves in case of a diversion.

    Sold by weight not by volume :)

    Calculated by weight as well.
    I would like to see the manifest as far as the calculated weight and balance,along with the performance figures (V1,Vr,Vef,etc.) that were calculated by the dispatch.
