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.

You can have load shift forward as well as aft (Afghan one looked like load shift aft).

That plane just looked like it was dragged down to the ground.

Just awful.

It was heading to the boneyard at Davis Monthan. It should have been empty. When we sent planes to the boneyard they were completely empty. No Space A allowed and no extra personnel.

Yes Mr. GG2 said the same. Cargo shift.
