    Bagram Airbase 747 Crash. 7 Freight Dogs Gone West.

    Makes you realize how important it is to secure your loads, Balance your aircraft, take maintenance seriously and fly professionally. Who knows what happened but anyone of those things could have killed them.

    That video would suggest the pilot was in the process of recovering from the stall and unfortunately ran out of airspace. Or the possible unsecured load moved forward with the pitch downwards to make it look like recovery was in process.

    I was impressed with the lack of commentary by the driver. Security patrol with dog? He was clearly texting at least twice during the video.
    Pretty ugly

    A good friend of mine was on site when that happened. He was in a supply shed when it occurred. He thought they were being shelled again, as happens occasionally. To go outside and see that... wow...
