Didn't think a plane would break like glass? I mean.... never had a chance. Up in minutes... down in seconds. Unreal.

And who's doing the shooting of the video with audio? They were pretty calm... not a peep.

Was reading somewhere that based on the footage pilots have commented that it is almost surely due to the cargo in the plane breaking loose and going to the back of the plane. Pretty incredible attempt by the pilots to save it but apparently it is almost impossible to do once the cargo has significantly shifted, especially when it happens so close to ground. Crazy video to see

A civilian cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the sprawling US Bagram airbase in Afghanistan with the Taliban claiming responsibility for "shooting down" the jet.

But a Nato spokesman later denied any Taliban involvement, adding that the 20-year-old Boeing 747 had come down within the boundaries of the US base near the capital of Kabul.

Witnesses said the National Air Cargo-operated plane had reached an altitude of 1,300ft before "falling out of the sky". According to the Aviation Safety Network, which carries incident reports from all registered jets, the plane had taken off from Bagram's single concrete runway and "attained a very steep nose-up attitude" immediately after take-off.

The incident report said: "It rolled left and right and entered a stall, descending toward the ground until it struck the ground near the end of the runway."

Flight radar tracking websites shows the jet flying into Afghanistan from Châteauroux in France on Monday. Before that it was in Salt Lake City, Utah.

"We did lose all seven crew members" said a spokeswoman for Florida-based National Air Cargo.

The Taliban's claims of responsibility were denied by Nato which said there had been no reports of militant activity in or around the base at the time. National Air Cargo Boeing 747-400 freighter on behalf of US Mobility Command, registration N949CA performing cargo flight N8-102 from Bagram (Afghanistan) to Dubai Al Maktoum (United Arab Emirates) with 8 crew and cargo consisting of 5 military vehicles, has crashed shortly after takeoff from Bagram Air Base's runway 03 and erupted into flames near the end of the runway within the perimeter of the Air Base.

Rescue and Recovery efforts are under way, the Air Base is currently locked down and the aerodrome is closed.

National Air Cargo confirmed their aircraft N949CA with 8 crew crashed at Bagram.

According to a listener on frequency the crew reported the aircraft stalled due to a possible load shift. The aircraft was carrying 5 military vehicles.

National Air Cargo operates three Boeing 747-400s with the registrations N952CA, N919CA and N949CA. N949CA operated into Afghanistan
