SYDNEY — A jetliner carrying more than 225 people slammed its tail into the runway during takeoff from Australia because someone programmed the wrong weight for the plane into a flight computer, investigators said today. No one was hurt when the Emirates airline’s Airbus A340 scraped its tail taking off from Melbourne on March 20, damaging the plane and runway and causing smoke to enter the cabin. The plane dumped its fuel at sea then returned to Melbourne for an emergency landing.
