Re: Death Video of Air Cargo Boeing 747 Crash at Bagram Airfield
Sounds plausible. The get seemed to be pointing nose up. Unless there was some sort of control failure or just really pathetic pilot error, it's hard to imagine how this could happen. But what you described sounds spot on. It looks almost as if the tail was weighted down. The poor pilot must have been shitting bricks trying to level it out. It looks like there was almost no forward momentum when it falls to the ground like a giant brick. |

"It was reported that the pilots announced a sudden weight shift just before the crash. It was carrying 5 military vehicles, so my assumption is that they were not correctly secured and rolled back during initial climb"

Re: Death Video of Air Cargo Boeing 747 Crash at Bagram Airfield
Well yeah, that's a stall. It stopped flying and became a rock. And in that big aircraft, on departure, the pilots had no room to recover. That is horrible and very sad.  . RIP
