Some reports have it at 300 souls on board plus crew and others have it at 426 souls on board plus crew..it is a testament to how well these "Queen's of the sky" are built being able to safely land at almost full take-off weight.

Safer yet, stay at home, preferably under your bed. Unless of course you live under the flight path of some 3rd world airline.
