Report says the Taliban claims that it was their attack but U.S thinks otherwise.

There were 5 heavy military vehicles in that cargo plane which weights 12 ton a piece and one of the vehicle came loose and shifted weight causing the accident.

Whichever the reason was, RIP to those personnel.

While loss of life is always a terrible thing, at least show some respect and get the info right. Firstly, they were civilian personnel. Secondly i was there, i saw it crash. No talibam action at all, they are just talking shit..And lastly...Shit was pretty fucked to watch. Not something i would wish on anybody to wish...Fireball was huge though...

I mentioned "Report says". None is my opinion nor guess.

Edited the original post anyways.

Which runway did it take off from? Seems like they were pulling up pretty, were they taking off to north, towards the mountains? If that was the case, I thought no fighters take off north and all the heavies take the south runway?

It took off heading northways towards the mountains....Also no matter the craft all planes take off depending on which way the wind is blowing...not to include rotary craft....Although i will add that the wind that day was out of control. Honestly i think that played a major part in the crash as well..

why havent they made ejection seats for a normal plane? this would have been a perfect situation to deploy something to increase the chances of life.

The situation is a devastating one and I have no words to describe it. The lives lost were unfortunate.

I remember hearing development of some years ago on a history show, but they kept running into the issue of the chairs coming back and hitting the plane, that show never said if they continued research or not.

I don't know about other planes, but KC-135's have their own method of emergency exits. About 3 feet behind where the pilot sits is the crew entry door. There's a shear mechanism that's stowed that when the lever is pulled, it shears the hinges on the entry door and it flies off, allowing the aircrew to escape from underneath the aircraft.

Looks like the aircrew didn't make it. :(

:nono:

It's still under investigation. Could have been a flight control malfunction, wind, flame out, avionics... any number or combination of things that had absolutely nothing to do with human error.

Good people are dead. Show some respect & save the finger pointing for the pros.
