Friends of mine with pilot experience indicate the video is basically a textbook example of the center of gravity going horribly wrong, probably due to cargo not being strapped down securely and sliding around. They manage to start to correct for it (which is super difficult) but doing so caused whatever was loose to slide in another direction. Brrrrrrrr.
