Blimey 
That's what a laden aircraft full of fuel looks like when it has no engines.

They reckon the cargo shifted on take off - all went to rear so it screwed it.

Harsh.
Looks like it was either incorrectly loaded or something shifted after take off.

Despite the fact there would have been a few moments when the crew knew they were buggered, at least it would have been an instant death.

Can't believe the guy in the car doesn't really react, apart from saying "fuck" casually at the end.

I guess when I was watching it I expected it to glide more.

Wow! As others have said probably weight shift but wow how it comes down and just erupts into flames. Surely it's about time there was an ejection system on passenger jets
