I have no idea how the complex computers didn’t detect the load unbalance at takeoff.

It is baffling to say the least.

It does seem rather unlikely. Perhaps there was a load shift which begs the question, why was the load not better secured.

I saw this a few hours ago and didn’t post it because the timestamp on the video says 2/1/2013. I suppose the date could be off on the camera. I was waiting to see if anyone else reported it...liveleak appears to be the only source at the moment and I would have thought it would be all over the news.

Looks like an awfully steep take off.

Sad. You could see the stall coming.

Departure stall due to aft CG?

What a horrible thing to see.

RIP, guys.

I’ve been struggling with videos a lot lately and I think shockwave flash is at the center of it.

Now it does.

I guess it's hit and miss.

They've reported on it but not a lot.

Yeah, I’ve never seen such a large plane that vertical and stalled before. Sad for all on board.

I read on another site that the loadmaster was onboard and was one of the seven killed. That was difficult to watch.

I got that too. I tried again and it worked. It's hit and miss. The YouTube video is more reliable.
