It's been a while since there was an on-topic post here, or any post at all for that matter.

Very scary film of a 747 crash in Afghanistan. More details on YouTube comments.

That was incredible to see. All the info I have available, including
some info that a friend of mine provided to me frome a relative of his
who works in Afghanistan, indicates that this was a "load shift" event
where some part of the load broke loose and went to the rear of the
airplane. At that point the aircraft was completely uncontrollable.

I wish the best to the families involved.

It seems that the crew thought so, but it could have been anything
really, there's no data. I don't know if it's the angle from the camera
but it looks like a hammerhead and the airplane took about 6 seconds
which would put it at around 200 meters at the top.

I had one incident when right after rotation in the middle of the night
we could hear a pallet start rolling to the back, I wouldn't wish anyone
to learn that feeling.

I heard there were military vehicles on board.

You made that up, didn't you?

The IAS indicator says IAS, not ASI.

Why do you come here pretending to know something
when you don't even know the words?

If the load had shifted enough to put the 74 into a hammerhead, then
that was possibly the end of a viscious-circle chain of events resulting
in maybe even more of the load having gone farther back before the onset
of altitude loss. So why did it nose out of the stall the way that a
normally loaded airplane would have?

rolled right, fin put tail up, load rolled forward, another 2000 feet
they might have recovered?
