Hello, everybody,
do we have any news about B-747 crash?
In my humble opinion (according to the my small experience in 747F), most problem was that straps were not carefully checked after flight OAZI-OAI.
Straps used on 747F are normally lost their tension during long flight, especially on heavy loads.
It means you have to carefully check it after each flight and tight more on ground.
Otherwise cargo will not be secured correctly.
As somebody said before, domino effect can be presented after take-off.
I am agree with it.
Last car moved to aft wall of maindeck could made CG approx. 48-50% MAC.
That's enough for 747F (aft limit is 33%, but one airline did successful take-off with 37% a few years ago).
That's only my opinion.
