    Those facts listed have already been verified.

    The aircraft had 5 vehicles onboard that weight 28,000 pounds EACH. So even one coming loose and sliding all the way back...ouch.

    Such an awful crash, and is the fear of every military charter loadmaster around.

    The FAA just released a SAFO (Safety Alert for Operators) advising operators of the potential safety impact of carrying and restraining heavy vehicle and special cargo loads.

    While no certain cause has yet been attributed to this crash, it sure is interesting the FAA is all of a sudden concerned about carrying and restraining heavy cargo loads...

    If I was able to upload the document (I have it saved on my HD) I would for those interested in reading it, but I don't see a function to be able to do so...
