You can fit 6 MRAPs on a -400BDSF (same as aircraft involved in accident) with clever use of available floor space. Some operators will load 5 others 6.
Considering a MRAP weighs upwards of 25000lbs / 12000kgs one breaking loose and sliding aft on its pallet could result in a disastrous CG aft of limit condition.
Look closely at the video, 22 second mark. Landing gear is definitely extended.
Latest info is that the aircraft was loaded with 5 MRAPS and crew reported possible load **** after takeoff.
