As I figured...probably over weight...

Bagram 747 Crash Update | Opinion - Conservative


Each vehicle was 33 metric tons - 72,000 lbs. 90,000 over the 280,000 for the aircraft.

Over gross + load shift due to busted straps, locks, bailing wire, whatever they were using, = uncontrollable aircraft.

No doubt a high performance teep departure out of Bagram to avoid ground fire might have contributed to a vehicle jumping a chock, strap breaking, etc...
