A Boeing 747 crashed in the Bagram Airfield on April 29, 2013 resulting in seven deaths. Dashboard camera footage surfaced Tuesday morning and revealed the very scary, and very real, tragedy that took place the day before at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.

I'm sorry if this has already been posted, only just seen the video.

Wow, scary crash! Seven American citizens killed in the crash.. rip
 
I don't know if there is anything scarier than watching a large plane fall from the sky like that.
 
The cartoon in the upper right corner is somewhat inappropriate.
 
its terrifying just to watch that. It looks like it was climbing too steeply and stalled. I fly a couple of times per month and take off is quite possibly the most terrifying feeling for me.

Watching that video made me feel sick to my stomach.
 
It's possible that the cargo may have slid or something during take off possibly creating a lot of drag and therefore stalling... sad though. very hard to watch, especially imagining the chaos of the cockpit.
 
Ok. I'm never flying again.
 
Correct getting stall. http://www.businessinsider.com/bagram-airport-crash-video-surfaces-2013-4.
My 9-5 is directly involved with flying. I have seen couple of crash.but not this type. Low altitude and steep climb.

Also reports that it had 4 military trucks as its cargo, they suggest that the cargo could have shifted during takeoff and altered the planes center of gravity. Making it tail heavy, which from the footage is clearly evident, that angle of climb was more akin to a rocket taking off. Then it just falls out of the sky. Tragic.
 
That's a scary Crash!!! Yeah looks like the plane stalled at some point.

It looks like there is an explosion at 0:10 above the wing on the left side.

i tried to see it, couldnt. could you maybe do a few screen grabs to point it out please?

I agree, it's the uploader's profile picture... you can close it (They haven't added it on purpose).

It's hard to see. I don't see an incoming trail or anything, but in the upper left area of the fuselage it looks like there's a puff of white smoke outwards like an explosion. At first, it might be clouds, but as the plane moves forward you don't see the same cloud shape being revealed by the moving plane. It's a rough circle of white, the plane passes over it, and then it's not there. I would expect the cloud to remain long enough for the plane to pass by, but it appears to dissipate in only a few seconds.

And the cloud is white like the Boston Marathon bomb, so I'm thinking maybe it's the same explosive. Could be completely wrong, and I would think experts would have discovered it by now, but I still see it, so....

They do the high angle of attack take-off on purpose, to minimize the opportunity for surface to air missile attack, so any problem at all during takeoff is a big deal.

Lol there is no explosion... The cargo shifted at take off, to the aft and therefore the nose rose, the plane couldn't achieve the right amount of speed with the amount of drag it had, and therefore fell out of the sky. The pilots would have been trying to push down on the nose but it simply couldn't. It stalled. Whoever loaded the cargo will be in a lot of trouble....... sadly for them.
