Bagram 747 Crash - April 29th, 2013


This is the video shot of the National Air Cargo plane crashing in Bagram, Iraq following a load shift. The 747-400 was carrying 5 military vehicles when they shifted shortly after takeoff.



The cargo slammed so hard at the back of the aircraft, that parts of the aircraft separated and wiring in the back was severed. As result of the shift and loss of aircraft parts the center of gravity moved so far back, that the attitude of the aircraft could no longer be controlled, the nose of the aircraft rose beyond the flying envelope of the aircraft and the aircraft stalled destroying the aircraft and killing all crew in the resulting impact.
