U.S. Cargo Plane Crashes in Bagram Airfield Afghanistan, Killing 7 Americans



M01RmcKsm2k




That is typical when engines on one side quits .. in this case, (probably) BOTH right hand side engines quit .. because the plane was low altitude and just climbing, the
pilots did realize too late both right hand engine quit and realized too late, there was not enough altitude, lift, time, to recover .. quite obvious from the clip (am pilot since 45 years)

Take off most sensitive time, low speed and low altitude makes thing s specially difficult

Fly since 1968 .. yes, once engine quit (single engine), landed on a dirt-strip next to a dam, fly twins and float


Well, if both engine on the same side would quit at the start of a steep climb take off with a fully loaded plane, yes, the plane would slow down rapidly, wing
on the side of both engine quitting would stall, plane would turn toward quitting engine and there would be no altitude and speed to recover

That could be what happened ,

Though they were talking of (heavy military) "Cargo Shift" but to me it does not look like cargo shift
