Plane Crash In Afghanistan
Another episode of Plinkett's video of the day:



From what I understand it was a civilian cargo plane taking off. That would explain the fireball.

I don't think I've ever seen a video of a plane crash (except 911).
It looks exactly like when I stall in Microsoft flight sim.. :/

:( wow

It looked more like a passenger plane than a military plane. When did this happen?

It was April 29 this year (the date on dashcam was incorrect).

The plane was a US civilian cargo plane, so I take it they were hired by the US army to carry supplies, US army tends to hire private companies to do the job. The plane crash killed 7 people. The supposed reason of the crash is unsecured cargo, that shifted backwards during the take off.
