Cargo Boeing 747 crashes at Bagram Airfield today video

I thought the same thing but I guess it's hard to sell a video with OH CRAP screamed out in the back ground.

it just amazes me all the dash cams in cars in other country's. not that I pay a lot of attention but when out and about I have not saw any here.
 
I work up here at hartsfield and the report were hearing is also a shifted load and overloaded Causing stall and hard bank then crash. Very unfortunate for the crew...

Very possible; I was a loadmaster doing these same routes and loads on 74's; they reportedly had 5 vehicles and other cargo onboard. It is easy to get incorrect weights, or an over-load situation if fuel was incorrectly calculated; but a shifted load comes down to a equipment failure or human error (if indeed the case).

I always added a few more restraints above the standard G-force calculations for fear of this exact event; it makes you much more cognizant when you ride with the loads.

Many variables at hand; regardless, a tragic event
 
DAMN..Prayers for the crew and families. Why does the dash cam say 02/01/2013?
