The pilot calculated his takeoff speed and input weight as 54 tons. Major . Both Pilots, derostered by the DGCA. Prelim report says , callous attitude by the pilot inputting incorrect weight'. Cabin crew reported hissing noise in the cabin. Report also says that the aircraft to be checked by Boeing before use again. Aircraft flying now, currently in Sharjah.
Wow, that is a callous attitude to have... Unsympathetically typing away into the FMC with little sensitivity to the situation.

Well at least this clearly non-airworthy craft has to be checked by Boeing before it's used again... well, once it's finished flying to Sharjah and back that is...
