INCREDIBLE video of the 747 that stalled and crashed just outside Bagram airbase this week. only 7 died because it was a cargo flight.

I have friend/former co-worker who now works for L-3 Communications and is currently at Bagram airbase. He was working on the flight-line when the crash happened and saw it. He says it just missed a fuel depot and a parked Russian aircraft full of HAZMAT.

I haven't read any source yet or anything, but it definitively is a engine stall. Some pilot blackout out or lost control?

Probably nothing to do with the engines. It was an aerodynamic stall.

The aircraft was carrying five 32000 pound MRAPs and other stuff. It appears that some of the cargo broke free of it's tie-downs, slid towards the rear of the aircraft and screwed up the CG (Center of Gravity), causing the aircraft to pitch up violently. At that weight, even with engines a full power, the aircraft could not maintain enough speed to keep air flowing over the wings, and it simply fell out of the sky.

Here's a similar indecent that happened in 1970. The cargo shifted aft during the catapult launch...

That shit is scary, and yeah by engine stall I meant the plane stalled to the point where the engine couldn't support the plane weight and deal with gravity on top of it.

For pilots, I imagine there doesn't seem to be anything to do about it but let the gravity do the rest and end your days.
