The pilot had no chance. If the load swings to the back and pulls the nose up that early after takeoff, those cargo planes just won't have the power to throttle up and recover. He did exactly what you do in a stall; dropped the nose to recover lift, but he just wasn't high enough in the air to get the airspeed and pull it out.
Awful accident that was probably a result of carelessness in loading. I don't see anything that pilot could've done to save that plane.

Yep, cargo shift.
