My father works there as a civilian contractor and was about a half mile away from the actual crash. They are used to hearing large planes take off all the time, and this one sounded different when it started to stand up and they all had time to take a look outside and witness the crash.
Word is that the cargo broke loose during takeoff and all the weight shifted towards the tail of the plane, causing it to stand up on it's tail only 1000 feet above the ground.
I've heard that the most dangerous times for plane crashes are takeoff and landing. If that cargo had all shifted after the plane was up, is it likely that they would've kept the plane in the air?
We are not flying 747's in Afghanistan. That is a C-12. This one.

No, it's a civilian 747.
A c-12 is a turboprop.
Could you have possibly gotten more wrong in a single post?
