All Pax to the Left side Please

Anyone know why the Garuda flight 716 ex JKT; ATA MEL Thursday 3 Sep 0730 had the emergency vehicles attend for the landing.

All pax were asked to sit side by side on the left side of the aircraft....A330?

I am not Airbus qualified...Just a Boeing boy.

Thanks

Something they didn't want the pax to see I guess?
Very strange indeed.

They had a fuel imbalance due to the thronomister going(uncommanded) into O'drive and used more fuel from the Left wing. The captain prudently asked the Pax to move over to balance for taxying, otherwise it would've gone round in circles!!
The A330 has a fully castering nosewheel which is controlled by the moment arm of fuel within the wings!
