Yes, I watched it again at home last evening with the sound on.
Comments on that site suggested cargo shift - a number of military
trucks on board apparently.
The loadmaster was one of the people on board so he paid with his life
for whatever failure he was responsible for.
Unfortunately, so did the others on board.
I am not a pilot but it certainly looks like the pilot responded well
and did everything possible to save it. He just ran out of altitude.

No sound, The cam was in a truck or something.
I like the Gman's suggestion of a cargo shift putting it very nose
high, or if the aircraft was an Airbus (looked like it?) the control
system might have gone wonky on them, like that one that bored in over
the Atlantic a few years ago.

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].

Looks like the stick never released, got stuck nose up -- is that an
