‘You have a weight and balance issue because that many people moving around in an aircraft, you could have the plane potentially losing control and its very, very dangerous,’ he said.
The video was shot by sophomore Matt Zelin who claims they didn’t do anything wrong and had checked with staff before carrying out the prank.
‘I don’t see there being any reason why this should cause any trouble. We asked the staff and they said it was safe,’ he told Colorado College student newspaper The Catalyst.
