And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.98 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or one tonne.
Of course empty, but still a problem. Weight distribution. Weight must be placed properly inside the aircraft. Too much weight aft will make the nose rise after takeoff. The aircraft controls cannot overcome too much aft weight making the nose rise, the aircraft stall and crash. Straight down. Everything will be OK............until the sudden stop. Look up the National Airlines Flight 102, a 747 crash out of Bagram Afghanistan. Crashed on take off.
Beer bombs!
