Bagram Airfield Crash

From a commenter on Youtube

The pilot did not just "screw up". The reports are that the plane was carrying several MRAPs (Google it) in the cargo hold, and one or more of them came loose (or were not properly secured in the first place) and slid towards the back of the plane during take-off. Try to find a pilot who can counter a sudden weight shift like that upon takeoff. It's not possible. The sudden weight transfer instantly changed the angle of the plane and stalled the engines. There was nothing he could do to save it.

The stupidity of some people is amazing...stalled the "engines" what a douche.

Don't know much about this myself, saw that you said the load may have shifted, then saw this guy say the same thing...

No disrespect intended, sorry for your loss.

Hey no that wasn't pointed at you. Just The general comment being so very wrong. Stalling refers to a disruption of airflow across an airfoil and in aviation terms doesn't apply to an engine.

Anyway, Yeh the whole thing blows. Flying is a small world and eventually we all end knowing someone that died in an accident.
