I heard a story of Aeroflot introducing a stand-up bar at the back of their IL-62s, when the seat belt sign was switched off everybody rushed to the back for a bevy and the aircraft stood on its tail. Experiment was short-lived.

Hello,
In no one of the posts above is a comment about the behavior of the disembarking passengers of this flight ....
Seem's they were scared .. and communicate this to the embarking passengers.
It's not to know better or less than the pilots ... it's just a lack of good management by the airline.
Distribution of seats (or weight) regarding the balance of the plane is the state of art ...
So .. it's not to ask to passengers to move when they embark ... this must be planified before ...
If it was cause a cargo door problem (any) .. it was to the airline to fix it and not the passengers...
For once .. the cattles react .... maybe they smelled the odor of the slaughter house ....
Regards.

Wot's all the fuss about? I remember travelling on a British Cal flight, where the pax were all asked to step on the baggage scale to be weighed and then the seats were allocated! Mind you the a/c was a Piper Chieftain, and there were only 3 pax.

What pitiful people management from the crew in my opinion.
Before castigating the SLF for being thick, the crew need to reflect on how they let a perfectly “normal” situation get completely out of hand.
A refresher course on customer service and the English language seems to be in order.
