National Air Cargo will not speculate as to the cause of the accident involving National Flight NCR102. With our full cooperation, an investigation by appropriate authorities is under way, and we encourage everyone to join us in respecting that process and allowing it to take its appropriate course.

Here are some facts regarding the aircraft and its movements prior to the accident:

-- National Flight NCR102 was en route to Dubai from Camp Bastian and had stopped to refuel at Bagram Air Base.

-- The cargo contained within the aircraft was properly loaded and secured, and had passed all necessary inspections prior to departing Camp Bastian.

-- The aircraft landed safely and uneventfully in Bagram.

-- No additional cargo or personnel was added during the stop in Bagram, and the aircraft's cargo was again inspected prior to departure.

So, the plane was carrying cargo before landing at Bagram and it didn't budge during that flight nor after the landing. Maybe someone did something during the stop?

This adds another twist rather than the simple load shifting theory.

THe accident investigation would be interesting.

reaction of the person whose vehicle had the camera is kind of strange

also one would have thought that such a plane crash would be big news BUT its been completely taken off the headlines ( almost ) and 'Boston Bombing' is what is being fed to the public

also another US military refueling plane went down in kyrgyzstan

Earlier, another Kyrgyz official said a U.S. military aircraft had gone missing after taking off from the Manas airport in Kyrgyzstan. A U.S. airbase that serves as a supply hub for American forces in Afghanistan is located at the airport.
