I don't have speakers connected to my computer here in the office so I
watched it in silence and could not hear the engines. I had to wonder if
it lost power as it just seemed to lose forward momentum.
I hope they had a list of those on board somewhere because I doubt they
are going to find much left of the poor souls after that hti and fire.

As a pilot, it looks to me like a pretty classic departure stall sequence.
Nose high, low speed, full power, perhaps a drastic change in weight and
balance due to cargo shift?.
Not sufficient airspeed or altitude for recovery. Note the roll to the
right as the wing lost lift and stall/ spin entry was started, followed by
sharp nose down recovery attempt. Nose down would let speed build and
regain lift, the airplane rolls level, appears that power goes full on,
again to recover flying speed.. but they just ran out of altitude.
It appears that ground contact was made under full power but less than
flying speed for the weight of the aircraft.
My sincere condolences to the families of the crew. Another bad day in
aviation, perhaps brought on by a combat climb out profile and density
altitude [hot air has less lift].
