Although a 747 was shown earlier in the film, the aircraft used to blow the 
fire truck over was a 767.  The demonstration was done at KSFO and the fire 
truck was going to be scrapped and all fluids had been drained.  They 
showed this a long time ago at an FAA Wings saftey seminar and one of the 
people who had participated was in attendence.  I forget what the engine 
setting was, but it was NOT full throttle.

To be fair we should notice that the engine and transmission had also been 
removed.  I fear that the shell was not properly recovered from the ocean?
Happy landings,

It might have been as heavy as a Yugo, even without an engine.
SFO is by the Bay, not the ocean.
