'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
