Horrible video to watch

Looking at it, it appears his climb was much too steep, he loses all air speed and stalls horribly. Make sense what they are already suggesting; that one or more of those vehicles it was carrying became unsecured and rolled aft during take off, that would account for the tail being pushed down and the nose up.
That is one of the situtations that terrifies me most about flying in large airliners, if it stalls under 4000 feet or so and you're done for.
