Going by pics Ive just seen of the crash it's very unlikely the crew walked away!

Aircraft involved is apparently N155UP, a relatively new A300-600F (2003 Build)

More details and some images here: http://aviation-safety.net/database/...?id=20130814-0

TEN News story said NTSB is looking at cargo shifting in flight.

No mayday or radio from crew.
