The CVR/FDR on the accident aircraft stopped working on rotation;
Huh??
engine/fuselage/tail parts were located on the runway.
What would that be from? tail bounce on take off?? (Hmm, damage to elevators/horizontal stab? Would not some of the eyewitnesses previously cited have mentioned this?
A total of (7) MRAP armored vehicles were being carried as cargo.
Different from some folks who have carried that cargo and their inputs in the currently locked thread at R & N. .
NAC was the only civil DoD contract carrier who will carry these vehicles.
??? Is this deemed significant?
Aircraft loaded at Camp Bastian, not Bagram, was stopping in Bagram for fuel. Aircraft uplifted 48,000 lbs of fuel at Bargram for flight to DXB.
Consistent with previous info ...
After impact, 1 MRAP vehicle was deeper in the impact crater than any aircraft/fuselage parts.
Not sure of significance.

It will be interesting to match this leak with the reports that are eventually issued by NTSB in support of the local authorities.
