    Sorry to post a negative story, but this is crazy seeing the plane fall out of the air. According to the description:

    A civilian cargo plane crash at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul in Afghanistan has killed seven people.

    Clutch, this will probably end up in the D&D. So gear up.

    wow, total catastrophic engine failure? Loose cargo crashing to the back of the plane during takeoff?

    That's crazy :(

    It has always been the only recurring dream of mine that witness something like this happening driving past an airport. How awful. :(

    Why does the timestamp show Feb 01 (or Jan 02)?

    I think the guy had a dog in his car who was just acting up and said "not now," which is what I do too.

    Hmm..this is strange. This plane had 4 engines..so for the most part if it experienced engine failure I'm sure it couldn't have been all 4 at the same time. Or maybe the dude's just took off without fuel. Because for such a powerful aircraft to fall out of the sky like that is very, very strange. Maybe it was intentional.

    Why do hear the guys laughing at running over a dog at 1:30, but not yelling when a plane is about to crash on the ground a few miles in front of them?

    I am not Jesus, but I'll comment: I think those "crazy new" things of today are seen more often because there are just more people with cameras and video devices. Almost everything is in some sort of record somewhere. :eek: Way back, no one heard of these things for the same reason. Maybe only photography or paintings were the reasons people "remembered" things.

    Taliban have claimed responsibility, but US is saying they are lying.

    Reports seem to suggest the crash had something to do with cargo (Hummers?) shifting after take off.

    I meant news of specifically today. Opened up my browser and saw that an 8 year old girl was stabbed in Cali and the mother of a 10 day old baby was shot while the baby was in her arms. Then this bizarre plane crash.
