Can you guess what caused the accident?

An MRAP vehicle was improperly secured as cargo and came loose. The resulting shift in CG caused the plane to stall and crash

That is an extreme aft CofG from an unsecured load. As the aircraft accelerated, the load moved aft and the aircraft pitched up out of control and then stalled in.

Weight & Balance, sudden change. Tail heavy.

Freight was not properly secured and got loose or it did not but how it was loaded was not correct for weight and balance

Load shift…

Famous statement, nose heavy planes fly poorly, tail heavy planes fly once.

If I remember correctly, the load was not properly secured and shifted, causing the centre of gravity to shift unfavourably.

Unsecured load

It was more than just a load shift causing an imbalance though. I believe the vehicle that broke loose on takeoff severed the hydraulics at the tail, which are usually protected by an internal bulkhead. The pilots lost control of the plane and didn’t have a chance due to low alt.

Se movio la carga, o fue directamente mal cargada, movio el centro de gravedad, entro en stall irrecuperable a bajisima altura, y el resultado ahi lo ven. 747 en caida libre. DEP toda la crew

Cargo shift

CG shift. Straps broke and cargo shifted aft.

Needed more straps.

Stalled of course

A car was not properly secured, broke through the pressure bulkhead and destroyed the elevator mechanism. The shift in the centre of gravity alone would not have caused the crash, but the destruction of the mechanism was the final straw.

DEI

stall, incipient spin

Improper flap setting at rotation. Attitude too steep for flap setting. or Loss of power

One of the tanks being transported was not secured tightly enough and came loose, rolling backwards and throwing the aircraft off balance, causing it to become massive tail-heavy.

Military Cargo shifted Aft of Aeroplane and I know this happened

Exceeded critical angle of attack. If I had to guess problem with the trim system and/or a jammed jack screw on the elevator.

Vehicles came loose on climb out after takeoff from Bagram .

CG shift to the rear. I remember they had a C2 Crash under similar circumstances carrying a ships generator. Generator broke free on the cat shot and end result was the same.

This was in the middle east , if memory serves , Afghanistan, A cargo 747-400 stalled , after badly secured army vehicles shifted aft, being several tonnes the flight crew never stood a chance

Don’t have to guess

Yes the cargo wasn’t secured correctly and at nose up on take off the cargo shifted to the rear and changed the center of gravity to far aft,the pilots had zero chance at recovery

The cargo shifted backwards, causing a pitch-up that resulted in a stall. Cannot be recovered.

They ramped up the gravity

Cargo shift broke the stabilizer drive

Very bad luck.

Unsecured cargo shifting within the aircraft upsetting the aircraft’s centre of gravity during climb after takeoff.

load shift

Gravity

stall

Sadly famous accident due to unsecured moving load.
