That video was pure horror!

It resembles my worst nightmare as a kid almost frame by frame.

Can someone educate me? My understanding has always been that if the military uses commercial aircraft for transport of military equipment, then military loadmaster still has a say in how the loading and securing is done.

If any of the 3: civilian loadmaster, military loadmaster, or pilots do not agree then the plane doesn’t fly.

Is this not the way it works?

Coincidentally I toured the aircraft and met the crew a few days before it left from Fresno for Afghanistan. A wasteful tragedy.

I knew it was a load shift the first time I watched the video.

Are you out of your mind? You don’t pack an AF plane. The loadmaster loads a plane. The packmaster doesn’t pack a plane.

After the load and shifted, no chance in the world of recovery; even if the hydraulics were functional.
