  1. It's seems most likely that this WAS caused by CARGO SHIFT! If that's the case, then whoever was responsible for loading the cargo, is also responsible for the resulting loss of life; not to mention the plane, and destroyed cargo! Now, when I say whoever was responsible for loading and strapping down the cargo, I don't necessarily mean the workers that did it. Were they provided with the right kind of "tie-down" equipment? Was the tie-down equipment (straps; chains….whatever it was) certified for the weight of the cargo? Did the loaders of the cargo just place vehicles in park with brakes, and think that would be enough? It's evident that the second this cargo shifted, the pilots; plane; and cargo were all doomed. They didn't have enough altitude to recover. Horrible!

  2. Well it later came out what happened, the cargo shifted because they didnt straps and secure it properly, and the engineer addressed this and the other pilots laughed and make jokes about it…

  3. First time I've seen a news report talk in depth (sort of) about a particular aircraft accident without botching all the details. I'm surprised.

  4. The aircraft's cargo in the rear, a minesweeper, broke free and damaged the horisontal stabiliser and damaged other hydraulic lines and changing the aircraft's COG causing it to stall and crash.

  5. it stalled, lost to much speed to quickly. and had a hvy payload, probably over wt. too bad no ejection seats.or escape pods like on TV and the movies. not even a parachute. thts how aliyah plane fell out of the sky and killed her too.

  6. i watched the documentary about that and says the cargo hit one of the hydraulic line and the plane was uncontrollable to steer so yea that was the bad luck of it 🙁
