Poop Cargo Plane Crash in Trashganistan

Quote from eyewitness

quote:
"I witnessed this crash today and there was no Taliban involvement. I can tell you this for sure – the 747 took off and commenced a quite steep climb out, not unusual for here, then one of two things happened. In my opinion either the strong head wind or a micro up burst caused it to pitch upward at what looked to be at least 85deg. Nose up or the cargo shifted to the rear and caused it to nose up. It then did what all swept wing aircraft do in a stall and pitched left at about 1200 Ft AGL, then it seemed like the pilot tried to correct and it pitched right and headed for the ground just before impact. It looked like it had flattened out to nearly level but had very little or no forward speed – what followed was the ground shook, followed by a large ball of fire and a huge black cloud of smoke. I truly wish I had not seen this, but I did, and my prayers and thoughts go out to all involved – both on board and the family and loved ones of the crew and passengers." Less..

7 people dead. RIP

No reaction whatsoever from the filmer.

Wow...that's tough to watch. Surprised that only seven died, if that's true.

why in the world was the plane pulling up that steeply? there appears to be sufficient space....

Almost has to be a load shift, doesn't it?

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.

I saw Santa do the same thing once.

Damned reindeer.

It was a cargo plane, so probably the entire crew.
