This resulted in a Boeing 737 taking off with 38 adult females misidentified as children. As a result, the aircraft weighed 1,244 kg more than was stated on the load sheet that was passed to the flight crew. The aircraft took off without incident, but the error could have resulted in a very serious accident.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p><a name="SignatureSanitizer_SafeHtmlFilter_UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter__MailAutoSig"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Yours,</span></a></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Dewi Daniels | Director | Software Safety Limited</span><br></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif" lang="FR">Telephone +44 7968 837742 | Email </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:purple" lang="FR"><a href="mailto:ddaniels@verocel.com" target="_blank">d</a><a href="mailto:ewi.daniels@software-safety.com" target="_blank">ewi.daniels@software-safety.com</a></span></p><p><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Software Safety Limited is a company registered in England and Wales.
