The plane inclined very steeply immediately after take-off. It is believed that the plane then stalled, and the pilot was not able to recover in time. All seven crew members on board were killed in this incident. (April 30th 2013, Afghanistan).http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=3562)

Every time I flew out of Balad we did combat takeoffs. Anything not nailed down went to the back. I'm guessing cargo was not secure and shifted or not loaded correctly from the start and up they went then whoa hello pitch up and compressor stall. The pilots knew they were screwed from the start of the vid but they did a hell of a job getting that thing level. Just ran out of sky.. RIP guys. That was indeed hard to watch.
