SNS3Guppy, why so irritated? I didn't say "diplomatic" sounds ominous or a conspiracy was happening. Simply asked, if there are different procedures for handling diplomatic cargo, period.
Nothing sinister here, nor was there any top secret, can't-tell-the-crew-how-much-it-weighs cargo involved. Didn't happen.
The weight of the cargo is and was known, and it's already been verified for this flight.
So you know this for fact (which leaves me wondering how you could) or are you guessing?
From the preliminary report
...actual cargo on board being compared with load sheet data
my understanding as a native German of English grammar suggests, that the verification of cargo weight is under way but no conclusion published yet?
