You hear about smuggling aircraft going down all the time because they've been overloaded, A G2 can carry a payload of 5,450 lbs, nearly 3 tons. The jet pictured wasnt even a G2, it was a GIIB, it has GIII wings on it, so its payload could be a little more.
Im betting they were overweight and under-fueled. Im also guessing their burn rate was probably a bit higher than they expected. Out of curiosity ifly87, whats the likely hood that they also had the CG out of the brackets? Not sure how, tolerant the Gulfs are of mis-loadings
