6. Is there any way to fit 250 tons of marble into it?

The Maximum Takeoff Weight of a Boeing 747-8 is 987,000 pounds.

The Operating Empty Weight of the passenger variant of this jet is 485,300 pounds. The cargo version is lighter, but that's not the one involved in the Qatari Bribe.

The distance between OEW and MTOW is 501,700 pounds.

If we can wedge 250 tons of marble into Donald's latest homage to Grandpa Friedrich, we won't have to worry about whether Trump has this plane because it'll be too heavy to fly. Marble weighs 160 pounds per cubic foot, so 3125 cubic feet of marble will be enough to solve the problem. For reference, that's a marble floor covering the entire lower deck that's 9.5 inches thick.

If you re-read the article, the stitched crest thing is about how he pimped out his 757 muriel_volestrangler May 2025 #15
