- National Airlines Flight 102 (NCR102), MSN 25630 - N949CA, was a cargo flight which crashed shortly after taking off from Bagram Airfield on 29 April 2013, killing all 7 crew.
The airline has been operating the Bagram to Dubai route for a month. The aircraft had taken off on runway 03 at 15:30L and climbing through 1200 feet, when the nose of the aircraft nose sharply rose. The crew were heard on VHF air-band frequency reporting that some of the load of five heavy military vehicles in the cargo hold had shifted and the aircraft stalled. The aircraft crashed and erupted into flames on impact. The crash site was near the end of runway 03 within the perimeter of the airfield. All seven crew; four pilots, two mechanics and a load master were killed.
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 747-428BCF registration N949CA, c/n 25630 It was manufactured and first flown in 1993. The aircraft that crashed was branded as National Airlines although it was actually operated upon the operating license of Air Atlanta Icelandic for National Air Cargo until 2011. Upon this particular sortie, Flight 102 was flying on behalf of the Air Mobility Command.

The way it stalls and hangs in midair for a moment is the eeriest thing. Ten years later and this is by far one of the craziest videos I’ve ever seen.
Yeah same
Yep. It's very eerie.
National 102 is still a really chilling air disaster, the recording is just eery in a weird way.
I agree. This clip constantly haunts in a way how planes can just fall out of the sky after seemingly floating…. Rip to those that lost their lives flying the plane :/
Yea there are people in that cockpit that died
For those of you wondering. Seven crew members were on board. Four in charge of tying down the MRAPs, and three in charge of flying the plane. During takeoff the MRAPs shifted due to the crew incorrectly tying down the MRAPs. The MRAPs then flew backwards during takeoff and hit the back of the plane and struck a critical component of the plane making it impossible to fly.
I think it's important to mention it was the ground crew who received incorrect training from the airline that was not addressed by the FAA.
According to Sporty's it was impossible to recover from the weight and balance shift causing the plane to be in a permanent climb attitude and stall.
It was too heavy in the back and it cause a stall then RIP
@@_Cox. That wasn't the reason, rather, the vehicle in the back ran into the horizontal stabilizer's mechanism, pushing it down. If it would have only been the weight of the cargo, there would have been a chance to recover from the situation.
@@h-0058 i knew, but i'm bad at english so i just tell that. Sorry mate
the calmness of the driver tells me he's definitely been through and seen a lot of shit
was thinking the exact same thing
Calmness? He was shell shocked. And then drove all over in a zig zag pattern.
I’m not criticising him though. Just saying he wasn’t calm.
Well it is Afghanistan I'm sure he's seen hell
@@StonedNoobso you asked him?
@@v-town1980 yeah had a chat with him right after he got out.
Some of the most terrible footage I've ever seen. God. You know those poor men had no other choice than to watch the ground come up to meet them. What a horrible way to die.
And now the Ethiopian Airlines too...
Oh, I don't know. If I had to pick a way to die, this is probably what I would pick (as long as I was on the 747 all by myself and didn't hurt anyone else when I crashed). This didn't just happen quickly--it happened _instantaneously_ . The families of the crew can take comfort in knowing that the victims didn't suffer. This crash is awful to watch, but there are worse ways to die. Much, *much* worse. I watched my best friend linger for _months_ while cancer slowly, methodically attacked every organ in his frail body. It was brutalizing and horrific for him, and traumatic for his friends and family who could do little more than stand by helplessly as the disease took its course. His death haunts me to this day, and ever since that awful year, I've resolved that if I'm ever in a hopeless situation like his, I won't put my loved ones (or myself) through similar misery. Quick and painless--that's the way to go.
@@ScottGammans yeah but dying in a plane crash is horrible too. Death that is not natural is pretty bad tbh.
@@ScottGammans have to agree with you
@@ScottGammans this isnt a death competition, dying is shit no matter how it happens.
So sad. R.I.P. As an airline pilot, its very frustrating to see that, cause the crew had no chance to recover it in this altitude.
and they did extremely well until the end
Even you have altitute for recovery from stall, but you dont have control of plane because hydraulic system being damage by cargo plane
CockpitView it was their fault tho
Bart Simpson : how was it the fault of the flight crew? I think the load master is to blame.
@@blasehaters4286 No. It wasn't. MRAP Armored vehicle was improperly secured. It broke loose, crashed through the rear bulkhead and destroyed the jack screw that controlled pitch. They never had a chance.
For those who don't know....the strap holding the 12 ton mine-vehicle snapped because the manufacturers specs were not followed correctly. It had to be at a specific angle which it was not. While this was a factor, *it wasn't the only the one.* When it slid to the back, it struck the bulkhead. The Horizontal Stabilizer was then damaged. Along with that, the hydraulics to N1 and N2 were snapped. The hydraulics were the final blow making it impossible to recover.
Some people say that the angle of the straps didn't matter....THEY DO. Ever see tow-truck guys who have a car strapped down? They lock the chains/straps in an angle, not straight down. Using an angular strap on all sides spreads the weight out. We had to use a similar method when we strapped down the bulk-bins we used to load onto the planes.
But the point being this.... *If some specializes AND builds something that you want, then you buy it....DON'T ADD YOUR OWN RULES.*
TheFlightChannel
Same way Dale Earnhardt died. Tinkered with the straps.
Yep. In general terms, that company was not able to transport that type of cargo. And dit it wrong.
yes but even then the weight shift caused the aircraft to go into high AOA and stall out. Thats why it falls straight down like that after spinning. They couldnt recover even in nothing broke.
@@Tyws14Pretty sure we all know that. OP's point was the cargo was incorrectly secured.
The Captain was my friend's nephew, young lad from Michigan. So sad and incredible at the same time. RIP Captain and Crew!

It had vehicles in the plane prob with fuel
@@petertheawesome1 Umm, the plane had 1000x more fuel than those vehicles.

The way this huge aircraft just floats in the air briefly is just so heart-stoppping...RIP to those on board 💔
So eerie when you first see the plane, because you know it’s doomed.
😥Exactly 💔💔

@@spIasher yet the guy recording this video says absolutely nothing while it plummets into the ground
@@AndreasInLondonI'd be speechless too if I was alone in the car

RIP
Why that emoji?
@@dominokitty198”may they rest in piece with the titanic”
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔✈️💥💀
Probably all just adrenaline
"(sigh) fuck." that's an understatement, sir.
The NTSB’s investigation states: ‘‘These vehicles were considered a special cargo load because they could not be placed in unit load devices (ULDs) and restrained in the airplane using the locking capabilities of the airplane’s main deck cargo handling system. Instead, the vehicles were secured to centreline-loaded floating pallets and restrained to the airplane’s main deck using tie-down straps.’’ And found: ‘‘Strong evidence that at least one of the MRAP vehicles (the rear M-ATV) moved aft into the tail section of the airplane, damaging hydraulic systems and horizontal stabilizer components such that it was impossible for the flight crew to regain pitch control of the airplane.’’
Your explanation is ACCURATE: ruclips.net/video/hvZEr3IkLJI/видео.html
That feeling you get when the plane slows down to a stop in midair, and then you feel that sudden drop like in a rollercoaster. 😔
Gerard Freeman if you've ever been in a plane you've probably felt the slight random drops when you land and you fell like you're gonna fly away from your seat. imagine that, but way worse, and you actually get lifted off your seat. soon hitting the ground and all your body weight crushing and killing you instantly before being disintegrated by burning jet fuel and now being crushed by plane roof instead of whats left of your body
Free falling in an airplane is like a rollercoaster yes, but the g forces would probably kill you before you hit the ground
@@floppychzcake7936 what?
"That feeling you get"? Yes, we've all experienced situations just like this...
technically like a drop Tower but ye like a rollercoaster, this video is scary but flying on a plane is the safest mode of transportation
Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. After countless flights in and out of the middle east with cargo such as helos and MRAPS at my feet.....this makes me sick. My heart goes out to the Air Men and women on board and their families.
It was a Cargo plane
Chicken 4 War oh for fucks sake quit with the “it was a cargo plane”. Crew members are people too. Seven of them lost their life and you say, “it was a cargo plane”. Would you like it if you died in that crash and some idiot said “it was a cargo plane”. Seven lives and millions of dollars lost.
There were no women on board it was a all male crew
If it’s men it doesn’t matter
no women, just men.
thats bone chilling. You knew that plane was fucked from the get go when its nose was all the way up like it was. I can't feel bad enough for the people who were on board knowing they were fucked and going to die.
Alexn1067 Actually it was a cargo plane carrying tanks, but the crew must have felt the same way you described
It's surprisingly not a bad situation; it was intentional and it's called a combat takeoff. The issue here was was straps in the cargo breaking, shifting the weight to the back, and bringing the plane down.
cargo plane but still rip
+Akshay I don't know about you but cargo planes need people to operate...
Actually the planes in Afghanistan often try to raise altitude as fast as possible to avoid being shot down. The first few seconds are quite normal, then a vehicle that wasn’t properly latched into place within the airplane. Then it slowed and fell backwards, causing a sudden massive shift in the plane’s center of gravity. It’s when the vehicle stopped or hit the back of the plane when they were truly fucked.
RIP LiveLeak, you were too good for this Earth.
When I worked as a flight attendant, we would ask passengers on a half empty flight to not switch seats until after takeoff, due to weight and balance reasons. They would laugh at us, thinking it was some type of joke. It's no joke
How come switching seats doesn’t effect the balance of the plane after takeoff?
@@farrahjordan1396it's stable and easier to recover at such height
@@farrahjordan1396*affect* not effect
Your absolutely right about that. Years ago I went on a scenic flight in a vintage DC 3 in Australia.When the passengers boarded they all crowded in the rear seats leaving the ones at the front empty so they would have a better view without the wings obstructing.The poor woman supervising the cabin had a hard time getting them to move up front.They just couldn't see why.The average citizens knowledge of aviation safety and necessity is just about zero.
@@HughBond-kx7lyeven in a bus it can have a negative effect. I still remember some 20 years ago when the bus had a issue in the right suspension spring and the driver asked passengers to move to the left so that he could still get the bus moving to the neareast stop.
That’s gotta be one of the scariest crashes ever captured on camera after Ethiopian 961. Seriously chilling. RIP.
Yes, it is. And I don't know why, but I ocasionally have nightmares that are just like in this video: a big airplane crashes in front of me, and I run for cover, debris falling around. Maybe because I was in the world of aviation in the past (I have a private pilot license)? Who knows.
I mean.. 9/11
@@User-jr7vfI have a similar recurring nightmare, but I find myself walking up to the wreckage and seeing body parts everywhere
Cargo was unsecured due to faulty manual,and unexperienced load master, caused the 12 tons MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle) located at the end of plane detatched and shifted towards the back of the plane, knocking off the No.1 and 2 hydrolic system on the airplane, that why in the video, the right main body landing gear was retracted but the left side and front was not, it also knocked off the black box of the airplane, therefore there were only 3 seconds of flight record been found after lift off, it cut off after that, but the plane still can be maneuvered with 2 hydrolic systems down and unbalanced center of gravity. But the MRAP kept moving backwards and it's rear bumper hit the jackscrew that control the entire elevator at the back of the plane, that ultimately caused the crash.
someone was probably dead before this plane hit the ground if that much cargo shifted
I would preface that statement with "sadly" but honestly they were the lucky one/s
Condolences to the Crew's families. This guy was at the right place at the right moment. If it hadn't been for this video it would have been difficult to see what happened. I would have cursed a lot more, great control.
I literally had several nightmares (and occasionally still have) about airplanes crashing in front of me just like in this video, and I think I had never watched this video before. Eerie. 😲
After watching this video, one can fully appreciate what it looks like when a plane drops out of the sky like a rock. The guy who recorded this on his dashcam, must have felt extreme relief that this airplane didn't come down right on top of him!
@wonderdog707 That surprised me, too. I'm sure I would have let out at least one F bomb just in shock/disbelief.
@wonderdog707 I suspect it was just a dash cam. A lot of people use them all the time, in case they are in an accident or something. There's lots of interesting dash cam footage on RUclips, like that meteor over Russia a few years back.
@@burke615 hes definitely just frozen in fear. U can hear him start to realize the situation at around 1:10
I doubt relief is the correct word to describe what he felt right there...
@wonderdog707 its just a dashcam
Seeing an airline crash in front of you is one of the most chilling things to happen, left me without words.
That brief moment where the plane just stops and hovers before plummeting back to earth…what a horrifying and terrible way to die.
This video shocked me when I first saw it (and continues to do so to this day), and I couldn't believe that had actually happened.
well, it happens all the time, mostly with hundreds of people on board. so i guess this is a big growing up day for you huh ?

Here after listening to the Black Box Down Podcast cover this incident. This footage is incredible... Years later and my heart hurts for the crew on board and their families.
This has to be the most surreal clip ever on RUclips. First the lack of reaction from whomever was in that car recording the scene, he sighs at a moment, then the dog at 1:31, and the eerie silence throughout the entire thing. Besides, the perfect framing of this horrible tragedy made it look unreal.
His reaction could have been shock.
I’ll never forget this… 11 years later still feels like yesterday. I was at Bagram the day this happened. Base was in chaos everyone thought it was an attack. RIP to the crew
quick thinking. He started backing up before most of the cars even realized what was going on and stopped.
The others understood the level of the danger..., how close enough they could get to that falling plane to be dangerous, but this guy backing up after the plane had already crashed and the maximum explosion diameter was reached was a bit over scared! If that plane had a nuke exploding with it, backing up would've helped anyway!
@@Maverickf22flyer it's military cargo, perhaps he thought it mightve carried ammunition
The way that plane stalls and just hangs in mid air for a few seconds before dropping like a rock is the scariest thing I've ever seen!
Didn’t witness the crash but taxied past that plane 45ish minutes before it took off that day in Bagram as a C-130 crew member. Fellow squadron mates saw it stall and crash and described exactly as the video shows. My thoughts at the time where major flight control malfunction or a load shift. It was #2. The structure/hull of the MRAPs on board survived the crash very well, albeit burned out, but easily identifiable in the aftermath. My crew flew 3 more missions after it crashed and got to look down at the remains on takeoff. Sad day. RIP to the crew.
The most amazing thing about the dashcam footage of this accident is that it is almost perfect enough to have been shot by a professional camera crew.
You can hear the engines go into max power, so they tried to save it, but it was too late
Full respect to all crew members onboard.
Undoubtedly a terrifyingly last few moments for them.
RIP to all crew & my thoughts to all their family members, stay strong.x
As someone who had a paper airplane obsession as a young kid, this instantly reminded me of my many amateurish tail-heavy paper planes I made.
All my tail-heavy planes crashed exactly how this cargo plane did - a violent pitch up upon release, aerodynamic stall, before crashing flat onto the ground with a resounding slap.
I would always be frustrated when that happened but I rmb being somewhat mesmerised by the paper plane just.. floating for a second in midair.
The immediate goosebumps I get when my mind instantly compared the similarities btwn my silly childhood mistakes to this horrible real life fatal error is… idk man :’(
RIP to the 7 people on board. History must be repeating itself... Because the same thing happened to a DC-8 in Miami International Airport. Cargo shifted and the plane stalled and crashed into computer stores and a parking lot. That was August 7 1997.
This is one of the craziest crash clips I’ve seen. It just stopped and came straight down. That’s just wild. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Yeah cause the center of mass changed mid flight because of heavy armoured vehicles becoming loose in the cargo area
Amazing footage. I remember it as breaking news. Barely a buckle of the tail at the end, but the plane just disappears into flame. There was just too much speed and force for any component of the aircraft to resist.
On the fortunate side, no one survived that impact which mercifully means none of them endured that fireball.
So horrible for the pilots to have been put in a situation where they never had a chance..
This must've been insanely terrifying to witness from one of those cars. I mean just imagine you're driving on some highway, minding your own business. You notice a big plane taking of from the near by airport. You expect the plane to fly over you soon but suddenly that just doesn't happen, the plane just doesn't move forward anymore. Before you can even process if you just experiencing some optical illusion, the plane starts to roll to one side and within a second you realise something is wrong about this. You are completely caught of guard by what's unfolding infront of you and before the full seriousness of the situation can sink into your brain, the plane starts to roll on the other side as well, but this time it gets completely flipped to its side and it appears that its going to fall directly in your way and into you. Now the adrenaline kicks in and panik starts to take over you. In a splitsecond you make the instinctive decision to back up with your car only to witness this gigantic plane falling out of the sky right infront of you like it never had wings and drop to the ground and explode in such a huge fireball that it can be seen from miles away. For a moment you feel relief because your survival instincts told you that it's gonna be falling on you. But this moment quickly passed as you realise that you just saw people burning to death in an instant. It all happened so quickly that you couldn't tell if this was a cargo or a passenger plane and you are just a random dude that couldn't tell the difference anyway. You believe that probably 100s off people just died infront of you. You step out of your car and start running towards the inferno because you want to help so badly, but you remind yourself that such a fireball isn't survivable at all. You come to the painful conclusion that there's nothing you can do about it and everyone is 100% dead.
so true mister. it all seems to happen in slow motion...can't stop it....helpless viewpoint....rip crew.
it just seemed to be in slow motion.
Now you know what an aircraft stall looks like.
How the hell do you see this happen and stay so calm???
Well, what are you supposed to do? Run around screaming and crying? The people inside the plane died instantly, and everyone watching knew it.
Skulldetta Well, everyone on that plane died. Right in front of you. I think that's more of a valid reason to freak out.
it's Afghanistan
A - It was a freight plane, 7 people, B - the person was probably in shock.
You know, not everyone panic even in situations like this.
The way the driver says "F*ck" means that this probably isn't the only time he's seen something like this.
Who's here from Black Box Down?
What are the odds that your at the right place at the right time with a dash cam rolling to catch such a rare event??? 1,400.000.000/1.0
it happened in Taiwan as well.
Which too in Afghanistan.
Yep, the odds are just astronomical. I'm not given to conspiracies, however, that's Afghanistan, where things are clandestine, convert & cover ups. Things looked too staged from dash cam guy. He or they seemed for assured something catastrophic is about to happen. Anyway, just things running in my head.
@@COO415 That thing it's colled alcohol all around the globe.
My thoughts too.
As it gets closer you can hear the engines screaming at full throttle but there was nothing that could save it. 😢
Seeing the plane shift and just glide mid air is basically a horror, its as if your slowly trying to avoid a crash but its so slow in a mass scale and you can't even prevent it.
It is so amazing the feeling that comes over me when I see this I read about this crash a few days ago but seeing it has a completely different effect on a person.
RIP to the crew, such a tragedy...something that could have been avoidable indeed...something I noticed tho about the audio around 0:46 you hear the beginning of what sounds like BoC - New Seeds
Truly sad and tragic.

Situations like that are something all human beings have a morbid curiosity about the moments before and the actual moment of death. I hope the energy that is our soul moves on to some other plane of existence for all of humanity's sake.
Yeah, can't imagine what they were thinking in their last moments.
It does. It moves on to either Heaven or Hell, in both cases, we never truly die.
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you genuinely thought you were gonna die, there is this strange acceptance.
@@starmaster191 I would guess they were very busy trying to keep the airplane in the air, their lives depended on it.
The terror they must have felt when the plane stopped climbing and froze, then turned downward to the ground ..... had to be so much sheer fear being in that plane!
This footage still tears me up after all these years….🙏😣
İ wonder if pilots what feeling when the plane cant contiune take off 😢
I can watch this video without flinching. Without even a tear coming to my eye or a chill going into my spine. But this video still haunts me. You don't want to comprehend something like this happening. Even after all these years I still sometimes have nightmares where I am watching this exact scene unfold with a different airplane.
When I was in high school right after 911 i started having dreams about being stuck on an airplane when it crashed and the scenarios in my dreams were always like this one. It's been 20 years but i remember the first one so vividly...it's horrifying seeing it in this video and i'm just heartsick at the thought of what the crew went through there.

@@anonymousperson26223 exactly, what the hell were they doing in afghanistan in the first place ?
Disturbing 😳
The subsequent investigation concluded that improperly secured cargo broke free during the take-off and rolled to the back of the cargo hold, crashing through the rear pressure bulkhead and disabling the rear flight control systems. This rendered the aircraft stuck in an uncontrollable pitch-up attitude and induced a stall, and made recovery by the pilots impossible.
At the time of the crash, the airline had been operating between Camp Bastion and Dubai for a month.[1] The accident flight had originated in Camp Bastion, where it had been loaded with five heavy armoured vehicles, and had stopped at Bagram Airfield to refuel.[4][5] The aircraft then took off from Bagram's runway 03 at 15:30 local time and was climbing through 1,200 feet (370 m) when its nose rose sharply. The aircraft then stalled, banked right, and leveled off just before impact with the ground; the whole aircraft exploded into a large fireball, almost damaging the vehicles nearby. The crash site was off the end of runway 03, within the perimeter of the airfield. All seven crew, all of whom were U.S. citizens, died: four pilots, two mechanics, and a loadmaster. No one on the ground was injured. The shocking is how no fire trucks arrived at scene during this short video clip🤦🏽
A thunderstorm was also in the vicinity of Bagram at the time of the crash and the wind changed direction by 120° during one hour commencing approximately 35 minutes before the crash.[7] A dashboard camera on a car in the vicinity of the runway end recorded the crash, which shows the aircraft pitching up, falling into a stall, and then sharply banking right after a slight bank to the left, indicating asymmetrical lift. The plane soon righted itself and then crashed at a shallow angle on the ground.[CNN stated that a government official speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed the video's authenticity.
Heart wrenching. Bless this crew and their families.

11 years after the crash of Flight 102 I will never forget it
you're right
Just watched the Mayday episode about this. I knew it was caused by shifted cargo but I didn’t know that it also took out the jackscrew for the horizontal stabilizer causing the pilots to lose pitch control.
RIP to the crew.
It reminds me the scene from the movie Knowing as we watch the big plane crashing in the same road view and similar weather and daylight conditions. horrific sighting!!!
remember seeing this on the news and it was reported as cargo shifting....2019 i just watched Air Crash Investigations and that what the NTSB found, inadequate retention of cargo (army vehicle) rolls back and takes out hydraulics and tail mechanicals....
loadmaster secured as per airlines manual, but that was a flawed manual
poor buggers....rip
Hydraulics don’t really have anything to do with it. Once that much weight shifts back in the aircraft it is going to pitch up severely, stall, and drop. It’s happened before and will happen again. Most of the time people don’t hear about because these are private aircraft on military missions.
@@tommytwotone8510 they were basically saying once the mech/hydro controls were gone what little chance of recovering from the shift of cargo were now zero
@@H3avyHaul3rit was never going to recover from it. Only thing he could've done was full throttle up to reduce fall speed, but it's unlikely the outcome would be any different.
Well said... this brought me tears...
And the worst part, it should've been easily prevented!
I saw somewhere that the guy was just stunned ... after all, even in a war zone that was pretty far beyond the norm of what a typical day in Afganistan might be like.
Yeah ... I was driving to work and I noticed this jumbo jet kinda of slowing down, then stalling, pitching over, and belly flopping into a fireball in front of me, obviously killing all aboard.
Even watching this vid 1st time I was speechless. That was a 747 in a full dead stall, zero airspeed, at low altitude ... unbelievable
0:15 scary
:(
here because idksterling told me not to
hi
😈🍑👋
I flew into Kandahar not long after on C-5 full of cargo. I saw this much later, and today it is taught in the schoolhouse as a cautionary tale.
For those of you posting "omg he didn't react," etc. The camera was mounted to the front of the vehicle's dash. It's not like a guy was holding it in his hand at the time. He clearly backed up and was probably shitting bricks when he saw the giant aircraft plummeting toward him.
Matthew Parker I don't think so. He clearly saw what the camera recorded.He says, softly, "fuck" after he realizes that these seven rude people had the nerve to be inconsiderate and die in a fireball, blocking the very road that this most important person needs to drive on.Yeah, make excuses for the heartless jag.The World NEEDS more like him and his partner in the truck rushing the other way!
Black box down podcast sent me here
I have seen the short version of this video several times, but I had never seen any sort of explanation until now (shifting cargo) as to what might have caused this bizarre crash.
for one of the crew members in the boeing 747 it was his last flight before going back home to her pregnant wife...🙁 watching this crash is heartbreaking, as any other crash
That plane was carrying MRAPS, I just took a UMO class. One of the MRAPS chains broke loose causing it to shift to the back hitting another causing a chain reaction.
They used straps but not enough. Pilots and cargo master were not too experienced or not very effective.
The pilot even tried to save the plane by opening the landing gear of the plane
he just took off.
no he didn't the plane had just taken off, and the hydraulic systems were damaged, so the landing gear couldn't be retracted
Thats just the angle?
It was carrying five MRAPs (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles . Three were 18 ton; two were 12 ton. The loadmaster used far too few securing straps.
The actual cause was this: When it taked-off, it did it steeply in order to avoid ground to-air attacks. One of the humvee’s detached from the holding cables causing to crash into the bulkhead of the plane causing it to stall and lose control. Crew: 7 Survivors: 0 Deaths: 7

This breaks my heart! R.I.P. to all of those beautiful souls that were lost that day! 😭
Robert Vlogs you never know those guys could've been assholes but still R.I.P
Don't start an argument
the plane was carrying military vehicles back to the United States
The crew that loaded the plane used the wrong straps and the vehicles broke loose shifting to the rear of the plane.
The pilots had no chance of recovering the aircraft
thanks for serving and being chill....god bless you...
It makes my heart thump a billion times per second... :,-(
This is what happens when heavy cargo is not properly secured and breaks loose shifting the load to the rear of the plane..
Congratulations on your basic observation & thank you for announcing it to everyone
@@user-ny7el1sp6hit’s not a “basic observation”. Nobody would know why the plane stalled by just observing the crash video. We don’t always got to be jerks to people online.
Quite simply the best angle of footage. Scary and revealing . Rip
Rip to all 7 of the ppl that lost their lives and I hope their families can cope with such a great lost😢
Truly unfortunate that they were doomed before they ever started their takeoff roll. To see the plane stalling out like that is just horrifying.
Absolutely 😨 RIP to them, their last moments must have been terrifying
The first time I saw this video my first thought was that some heavy cargo had come loose and shifted to the rear of the plane.
well tht is the reason
I have a little aviation experience, and I learned of the vitality of “weight and balance” of a plane in flight.
When I saw this crash, I knew that HAD to be a major cause of this crash.
Especially seeing how that plane literally almost (yes it was moving) hovered in the air nose up, engines roaring.
It freaking stalled, and went down like a rock.
May the crew of 7 RIP. At least the end was quick
Seeing that behemoth of a plane do such a move... terrifyingly astounding
Rest in Piece All Captain and Co officer
According to the show “Mayday”, one of the loaded tanks became dislodged and rolled back. In the process, the rear hydraulic systems became damaged thereby rendering the plane’s controls (specifically pitch) completely unstable. This accident was completely caused by the failure of the loadmaster to properly secure the load.
I saw this on national geographic.
Capitan did everything to be alive :(
capitan seems a better name for the future
The calmness of the driver... like that must be pure shock
Trust me that guy was not calm
i remember the day this happened, i was in the 6th grade and i came home from the bus stop and seeing this on my dads laptop when it was on cnn
Rest in peace crew
It was a cargo not passanger 747. Huge load of cargo went loose during take-off, that causes a complete stall of the plane.
wrong
passanger?
@@jestthedemonhunter8543 It's not Boeing's fault, it's National Airlines' fault.

He didnt say it was a passenger plane lol.It was stated a freighter variant of the 747-400
Gosh - seconds from only taking off - my word - can you even imagine the Hell those pilots were experiencing.. No word's but RIP...
Wouldn’t want to imagine how scared they must’ve been as they felt the plane go down literally had my first ever experience in a plane 5 days ago and feeling it move the slightest to any side made me feel scared may they Rest In Peace
I give the pilot lots of credit for managing the obvious catastrophic failure as well as he did. To me it looks like he did an amazing job of recovering the aircraft considering that he hadn't gained enough altitude to put the landing gear up. To bad they didn't make it.
Who's here after idk sterling?
My sister was standing on the flight line when this happened. The bird was full of humvees and on takeoff the loading cabled snapped causing then to roll to the back of the aircraft and stall... Horrible crash and everyone was killed instantly
