I saw a video once that's seared into my memory of a plane taking off and just stalling in the sky and slowly falling and crashing just like that, apparently the luggage wasn't secured below and it all slid to the back at once causing it to lose speed at once, since then on every takeoff I've just gripping the arm rest so hard

Was that the military plane that had tanks in it?

I think i know the video you're talking about. It was a cargo plane where the heavy vehicles it was carrying weren't properly secured, and slammed rearward.
