page 5 of that manifest --

so now it's 2453 (pounds or kilos?) of lithium batteries , not 1/10th that many as per early reports ?
Its definitely Kilos. Also it says packed under Section II PI 965.

133 PACKAGES total 1990KGS is roughly 15kg each package

and

67 loose packages total 463 kg average 7kg each package

They were packed in PMC 5871. Not sure if it was put in the forward or aft.

That's a lot of Lithium Ion batteries in a PAX aircraft.
