Cargo Plane Crash
Shocking images
On April 29, 2013 on the Bagram air base in Afghanistan, a freighter 747-400 (National Air Cargo) crashed after takeoff. The plane appears to have stalled. There were seven crew members, none survived the accident. It seems that the loading of the aircraft has moved moving the center of gravity of the aircraft.

BOEING must have the technology to integrate full pilot/crew cabin ejector pod in cargo applications like this and all crew should be present on take off and landing,,,
It would of been so nice to see the hole front cabin eject and parachute to safety.
Get it done!

it went for a steep take off to avoid possible shooting from people whose land the americans are occupying...

I dont think it was the cargo..it is possible..but somehow unlikely. I think they went too steep with way too less speed and went into a slipstream (or whatever its called)..no uplift under the wings anymore since no air pressure..and then tons of metal fall down like a rock. I suspect it was a pilots fail..but the reason is unsure (yet)
R.I.P. To the 7 people on board anyways..tragic accident.
(On the news they say taliban claims to have it shot down but pentagon and "others" didnt confirm that)

Nice angle! Really gonna help the investigation team figure out what happened.
Before people start complaining I'm insensitive for appreciating the good filming angle... 126 people died while you where watching the video... 312 where born...

I saw this explanation posted elsewhere.
"The crash was caused by a shift in cargo to the rear of the plane. The cargo was 5 APC's as well as 15 tons of military explosives.
This happened due to a miscalculation by the loadmaster. The load(s) required 34 retaining straps, but only 24 were used.
All crew members died on impact."
