red750 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Surely the aircraft could only get into the attitude prior to the stall due to cargo sliding to the rear in the takeoff. http://www.optuszoo.com.au/tvandvideo/videos?movideo_m=329855 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 According to Channel 7 News, the crew did report the load moving. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siznaudin Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just viewed it on ABC TV24 prior to logging on here: ugly, very ugly... somehow one (ie moi...) normally associates stalls such as that with smaller aircraft, but - as is obvious - it can occur with any aircrft of any size. A very subduing piece of footage indeed. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes, very nasty. The sobering thought is that the crew would have known from the moment the aircraft entered such a steep attitude that they were probably doomed. Yet it appears there was an attempt to recover- the wings come level and the nose begins to pitch up just before impact. Not nice viewing at all. Load shifting is a possible scenario but we'll have to wait for the report to know for sure. Things must have started to go wrong fairly early, the gear hadn't even retracted. Poor buggers....
