woah that's way steeper than i though from reading some of the other reports. It looks like the load suddenly shifted and moved ahead of the wing, instant turnover.

Yeah, far more dramatic than I would have expected. I don't know enough about planes to say what could cause that roll, but it definitely seems like a stall started it.

One commenter on liveleak had this to say:

Second video shows a seriously wicked left yaw and what appears to be full right (bank) aileron deflection. Just more indication of possibly having grenaded one engine, which may have fragged the adjacent.

yeah, losing two on one wing at once could do that too

yep. looks like a load broke loose and shifted forwards. when they tried to pull up they stalled it, which sent it immediately down.

sucks for the load master on that plane...
