T_O_A_D Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Dang looked like they were trying to go striaght up the whole time. Surely the pilot wasn't pulling it into such a stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Bongodriver Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I hear an unofficial rumour that it may have been an unsecured load that slid back and put the CoG too far back, it makes some sense, with good visual met conditions like that the pilot is unlikely to have put the aircraft into such an attitude.

T_O_A_D Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeh I could chew on the COG, or some sort of Mechanical/hydraulic catastrophe, but not knowing how the aircraft is built, controled and back up systems if any I'll just have to wait for an official investigation. All I know is I immediatly thought of Capt. Jack and the fact he fly's cargo also. Selfishly thankful, he was not involved, but sorry for all involved regardless.

SkyPup Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Found this link with some eye-witness reports. http://theloadstar.co.uk/breaking-news-national-air-cargo-crash-at-bagram/ Conditions were gusty at the time of takeoff (20 knots gusting to 30), and there had been reports of low-level wind shear. The fact that the gear was never retracted hints that something drastic must have happened soon after lift-off. My heart goes out to the families of the crew.
