HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Reports?

That’s a sure fire way to ruin your day.

WTF was that? looked like he was pulling back a bit too much.

surreal.

Twas a cargo plane. First guestimates are that the load slid towards the back of the plane, making it virtually uncontrollable.

I think the news said 7 people were on it.

That is just tough to watch. Very sad.

Big tree fall hard… Surprised at how small the explosion was though actually.

It had to be either this or just very bad math calculation on where the weight needed to be placed. obviously that would put the weight to far back.

Wow! looks like a kite caught up in the wind.

Your avatar is pretty much my exact reaction while watching that.

If it was indeed rear heavy, wouldn’t it have fallen rear first instead of being able to pitch forward like it did in it’s last seconds of life?

Everything about the video points to weight being in the rear, but I don’t feel like explaining it. Also, it’s purely speculation at this point.

I hate that fucking word.

Good for you.

I hate that fucking phrase.

Great video to watch sitting in atl airport :o

They should start looking into ejection pods for these. C’mon, this is 2013

Wow that’s incredible video, terrible outcome.

On the positive side, didn’t the Taliban claim they shot this down with a missile or something? Clearly the video shows they were talking out of their asses.
