Does look as if it was tail heavy, causing a stall, or that may have just been the camera angle.

1339092 2013-05-01 02:30:00 Here's an eye witness account as reported in TheLoadstar



I witnessed this crash today and there was no Taliban involvement. I can tell you this for sure – the 747 took off and commenced a quite steep climb out, not unusual for here, then one of two things happened. In my opinion either the strong head wind or a micro up burst caused it to pitch upward at what looked to be at least 85deg. Nose up or the cargo shifted to the rear and caused it to nose up. It then did what all swept wing aircraft do in a stall and pitched left at about 1200 Ft AGL, then it seemed like the pilot tried to correct and it pitched right and headed for the ground just before impact. It looked like it had flattened out to nearly level but had very little or no forward speed – what followed was the ground shook, followed by a large ball of fire and a huge black cloud of smoke. I truly wish I had not seen this, but I did, and my prayers and thoughts go out to all involved – both on board and the family and loved ones of the crew and passengers.

1339093 2013-05-01 03:20:00 Ah, just tried it and its loading now. Cheers. Um, yes, what a tragedy alright. Pretty sucky for the Taleban trying to claim responsibility for the crash. Iantech (16386)
1339094 2013-05-02 00:55:00 When I was on Timor I saw the loading of NZ Unimog truck into a Ukranian MIL26, they didnt even tie it down and flew it across the island. Pax seats were a piece of plywood on 2 nylon straps that folded down from the aircraft sides (nyet seat belts). You could not make it simpler if you had a Cray computer and all the Einstein designers in the world. The boxes were weighed by us but the Russian loadmaster didnt care just pointed to a place to plop it down.
The worst thing was the crew were pissing up in the early hours before takeoff.
