Great story! The same thing happend when Scandinavian Airlines, SAS flew from N.Y to Stockholm for the first time back in 1946. The aircraft was a DC-4. After take off the seat belt sign came off and one of the press went back in the aft galley and started talking to the crew. The rest of press did the same. After a while the FO comes running from the cockpit. He tells everyone to find their seats pronto! The trim is all the way aft and they are having a hard time controlling the aircraft .
