Good. >> we do not know how the crew was trained, but statistically unfortunately, these go arounds in missed approaches as you know they are called, we do not have a really good track record with being really accurate with these because the pilots even in training do not practice them very often. >> jon: it was a 747, it is a big, heavy, but complicated aircraft, four engines, the more engines youve got, the more opportunity for something to go wrong. >> that is true, but of course, you can als...

And in that case they believe because of a fire caused by lithium batteries. earlier this year another cargo plane ship crashed not u.p.s. but another plane in afghanistan crashed because of a cargo shift inside the plane that caused significant weight imbalance. we dont know the cause of this crash yet. the ntsb has a go team now on the way to birmingham. they should be on the scene sometime this afternoon. as of now the police and fire department have the cash scene cordoned off. they are inve...

Had similar circumstances, and in fact, a crew had reported a cargo shift. when we did the investigation, we found they had a flight controlled problem with the elevators that controls the pitch of the airplane. at this point its too early to speculate whether its cargo shift. >> we do know that at bagram, the nature of the base there, the planes have to take off in a much steeper gradient than a normal 747 would have to. we also know its carrying five armored vehicles. to be taken to afghanista...

Spin to develop. i think the pilot was trying to roll the wings over. there was 1500 feet. thats not enough for a 747 or anything else. >> ive flown on plenty of c-130 cargo planes. they work really hard to make sure the cargo is, you know, exactly where it should be on the aircraft, that its roped down from all different angles. do you think it likely that this is some sort of a cargo shift? how much would it have to shift to make a stall like that? >> i can see a scenario. this has happened a ...

Joining me now -- what is your theory of what would cause a 747 to go into a rapid plunge like this? >> one of the things of coming up with a theory this early in an investigation, its probably going to be wrong. its up to the invest gators to collect all the facts and circumstances. when you look at that video, the obvious cause right now, or at least thats whats being publicized by a lot of folks is that there may have been a cargo shift that resulted in the inability of the flight crew to act...
