Is this for real or am I being taken in by a fake video?
EDIT:
Nope, seems to be real. It is all over PPruNe.

Horrendous. That is the only word that comes to mind.
Wow. That's one of the worst airplane crashes I have ever seen. Fortunately this was "only" a cargo plane. I don't want to imagine if this was a fully loaded passenger airplane...

Dropped like a rock.
There was a similar-looking accident near Moscow not so long ago, the only crash of Il-86 - something about the vertical trim suddenly going full up, causing the plane to flare, stall and drop.
Or maybe someone just didn't secure the cargo properly. This being Afghanistan, i imagine it could be military vehicles, and someone forgot to put the parking brake on...

But epic for everyone else.
Hm.Not safe for teenagers:
Hm.
Why is it not?
Oops. Someone touched the GPU. The DC-8 family has always had a touchy power receptacle. Had many a morning where we had to drag a different power cart over to an MD-90 to get it powered up, as the plane rejected the gate power supply. :facepalm:Note the unexpected loss of electrical power at 8:32. That's probably the same face which I get when I get a loss of electrical power in MSFS while using one of my aircraft addons. It's always confusing :lol:

What I read so far about this tragic accident is that they did not load any cargo at Bagram airfield.
They use it merely for refueling.
And that bring a disturbing possibility to my mind.
What if it was sabotage?
Maybe someone intently loosen or cut the straps and nobody noticed it.
