Holy =censored=. Certainly no enemy fire involved. Perhaps shifting cargo or wrong loading?

According to a listener on frequency the crew reported the aircraft stalled due to a possible load shift.

Horrible images. I can only guess what went through the minds of the crew. Such a stall, they must have known they were in the last seconds of their lives. Awful. RIP

Bad analysis by Flight. Large transport jets don't climb at 'max angle' just after liftoff, but at V2 plus some margin. It's not a Cessna 152. Moreover, Boeing civilian aircraft have no procedures for a socalled 'tactical departure'.
