I have been told that the aircraft went sideways during the takeoff roll & wiped out some runway lights before getting airborne.
Can anyone explain to me how 100kg of water in the fuselage could do that?
...what's the maximum fuel imbalance allowable between the wings? 2-300lb?

The idea that the fuse was full of water (100 lts of water ffs) and that it somehow magically caused the aeroplane to yaw sideways and crash into the DFO strikes me as beyond fanciful.
