Deadly Boeing 747 Plane Crash Caught on Camera

7 people died...

The plane landed on its belly not NOSE down to the ground...

Yep. Giant belly-flop landing style.

Classic stall

See the left hand roll?

When he came back around to the right, it was continuing to climb at a pitch/angle passed the speed limit. So instead of leveling out like he had hoped (they were already doomed with a climb like that) it turned the event into a curved ramp-like launch into the sky.

That was the final drawing of the engines power and the speed of the craft. It simply had no lift after that. Instead of going to the left and heading more level towards the ground. Because of various effects the plane will undergo, leveling out it meant launching it upward at an even higher level than it was already stalling it, or completely losing speed and altitude and half-nose diving just to level it out. (imagine the plan on it's side, to the left, having to dip down low in order to right itself out. Instead of that, it just climbed even straighter upward)

Not sure what the proper response would've been. It seems the control were jammed to high climb, or that the autopilot lock was left on from take off, which usually results in the exact event taking place. An uncontrolled climb until speed and lift is critically lost.

Oh and, they'll be back.

More likely the cargo came loose and shifted to the tail of the plane causing a gross load imbalance. The other option is pilot error from improper trim settings.

Bottom line is that as soon as the plane comes into frame you can see it's pitched way too far up. A stall on takeoff is generally unrecoverable for a heavy plane.

interesting counterspell

Klassic Kerbal move...
