The 75 was see likely to tip because it disembarked fro. door 2, so it emptied from the middle first. The 321 is a doors 1 plane, so the front cabin empties first. Put that together with an aft loading for bags and you can get into trouble if the baggage handlers aren't on their game.
I have to say I never thought it would actually go though!
I remember years ago, sitting on the flight deck and all the light came on and the ECAM went nuts. The aircraft had pitched up enough to set off the ground/air logic. The captain ran out side and low and behold they had started unloading the front hold first.
Indeed. What I mean is that when the 757 first went into service I don't remember there being any such restriction on disembarking.
