Hi Geoff,
I'm not aware of the details of this specific incident but it's likely that some cargo became unsecured and moved in flight thus changing the balance (C of G) and causing considerable stress to the airframe. Think of the Kalitta 747 in the Middle East a few years ago.
Cheers,
Duncan

A CG shift may be the reason for this event:

I hope this isn't the end of this old girl.
