‘OOKKINN ‘ELL Indeed

Looks like a hell of a sharp ascent and then stall and plummet.

Thoughts for the poor crew on board

WTF??!

A quick look revealed the following:

The current hypothesis seems to be unsecured cargo (“5 military vehicles”) sliding and upsetting it, which I guess would make sense.

Looks like starboard engine failure 🙁

holy shit!

ffffffff that is horrific

Wow! That’s awful. 😯

Not good to see that, could probably use a warning of some sort. Thought out to the families of those involved 🙁

I’m trying to find a silver lining here and the only ones I’ve got are that the crew wouldn’t have suffered and that it wasn’t in a built up area.

I hope lessons are learned.

Yeah, looks like an engine failure and with the angle of attack they’ve gone off at a loss of power would almost certainly have caused a stall.

Sad times, thoughts with the families.

Anyone else questioning whether film of some people dying in a fireball is really what we want posting for a bit of lunchtime entertainment on here? Obviously, it keeps the armchair accident investigators happy, but still…

No. Next question….

I’ll put a warning in the OP.

TBH though, if you’re going to watch a plane crash video, you can’t really complain that the video then shows a plane crash.

Sweet Jesus! That’s horrific!!

Early reports suggest extreme aft CofG from a load error or even load shift. Utterly unrecoverable in either case RIP
