Very sad - looks like some cargo wasn't secured properly and moved towards the back during take-off, causing the nose to pitch up...

Not a very emotional driver of the vehicle though! :shock:

Road - Dolan Preffisio
MTB - On-One Inbred

I have no idea what's going on here.

    Saw this last night. Incredible to see something so big just 'fall' out of the sky.

    Loose cargo seems plausible. That or some dicky electronics.

    RIP to the crew. Horrid.

    A stark reminder that these things weigh tonnes, it's still a miracle to me that they stay up there in the first place.

    Anyone else having trouble with the video BTW? For me it stops just after the plane hits the ground. I found that several of the ones on YouTube do the same, this one doesn't..........
