It’s a stall.

Something like this happened to a small commuter jet a few years back, if I remember correctly.

The cause of that commuter accident was incorrect center-of-gravity loading.

I’m betting it’s the same thing here.

And - perhaps Boeing changed the design, but I do not remember 747-400 having the rather normal nose profile that I think I’m seeing in that movie (not that the type of plane matters...if one Obamas up the CG, any plane will perform like liberal economists do).

“It’s a stall.”

But what caused the stall?

1. nose of plane too high?
2. loss of thrust?
3. cargo shift
4. loss of control of control surfaces?
5. improper flapp settings?

The point of the blog post is that terrorist can intentionally cause a stall nearly identical to the one that occurred at Bagram, without claiming that this is what happened there.
