Looks like this 744 crash had a lot of witnesses. A load shift is really an inexcusable error or failure.
I’m at Bagram. Saw the burning wreckage from pretty close up a few minutes after the crash. A lot of people saw it go down. Said it had just taken off when it pitched straight up and then fell out of the sky. Word here is that its cargo load shifted to the rear just after takeoff,suddenly jacking the nose way up. Then it stalled and went down. There was no insurgent activity whatsoever here yesterday. The Taliban’s claims are pure bs. This was an accident.
