This was caught on video on someone's dash cam in Afghanistan. It appears that the plane is climbing way too steeply and it almost come to a stop in midair as it stalls, then it rolls over and crashes. All seven occupants were killed. Sad.

This plane was apparently carrying heavy military vehicles that were being shipped out of Afghanistan. One speculation is that one or more of these vehicles may have broken loose and rolled towards the tail, shifting the center of gravity. They don't know the real why yet, but hopefully recovering the flight recorders will give them a clue. Nasty.

When this was on reddit yesterday someone said it could be due to the load shifting during take-off.

I heard about this last night but hadn't seen it until now. Damn.

Tip stall caused by not enough thrust.

AOC - in Hostile Area, too high
