To those who think the pilot is to blame for accepting the working conditions..well the reality is that there are probably a lot more pilots than there are jobs. If you don't accept the conditions then no job. If you bitch about it, word gets around that you're a trouble maker and doors will be closed to you when you go job hunting.

Refuse to take an airplane due to some faults and you won't have a job for long. Ditto if you ground the aircraft away from base unless one of the engines actually fell off the wing.

In this case we'll probably see overloading as a major cause. Fish and meats are very dense cargo. I use to handle meat pallets from Australia.. they were only 60% full but already at the lower-deck weight limit for a pallet (about 5000kgs). Frozen-tuna weighs a lot as well.

Also someone mentioned mining is done in this part of the world? They use some really heavy stuff and I don't think the roads are very good.

Looks like they tried to rotate, airplane was too heavy, wng hit some aerodrome fixtures which affected the flight controls on one side and **** went bad very fast.

Just be grateful for where you are born..that could have been any one of us here but for the grace of god.
