Horrifying 747 freighter crash at Bagram Air Force Base

submitted by SFOGuy

1 decade 12 months ago

This is apparently dashboard video of a 747 freighter taking off from Bagram Air Force base---and something terribly, terribly wrong happening.
From other sources, it sounds like the 747 freighter was loaded with a number of 30 ton vehicles for shipping---and either they rolled to the back of the plane (you can see it rear-up) or they were loaded too far towards the tail in the first place.

With the plane's center of gravity too far back, there was no way, once it was in the air, to save it from climbing into a stall at that altitude. It looks like the right wing stalls first, drops, then the plane falls off to its right---sort of leveling out the angle of descent but not having enough altitude to save it.

Frightening and sad.
Reports are that the entire flight crew died. Taliban tried to claim credit for it, but there's no need to invoke outside agency for what happens here.
