Also there was a very famous 2003 CofG crash which killed everybody on take off, straight up and down. The plane was overweight and CoG was outside the aft envelope.
The NTSB investigator found that airlines were still using average passenger weights from 1936, but in 2003 people were on average much heavier.
This accident caused all the passenger weight tables to be updated.

Don't forget insufficient elevator travel following below par maintenance.
