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? ---

> [@jabbu](#): > > 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?

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. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/afgan-747-crash/230309.md?page=2)
