Interesting... when I first heard reports that it banked hard after take off, I suspected a load-shift rear of center like that video from Afghanistan, where the pilot’s instinct is to turn over so they can move the nose down (which is folly, because you don’t have the altitude to recover, but its still instinct), but this shot does not show nose up. It doesn’t even look like a stall.
Pretty bizarre. Don’t think the pilot was avoiding anything. He just had no control whatever that I could see.
Could be the same problem that C-130 had that crashed in MS a while ago.
Looked like load shift to me...prayers for crew and families.
I heard that it was a 60 year old C-130 on it’s way to the boneyard in Arizona when it crashed. Something mechanical give out at the worst possible time?
