Apparently, the cargo shifted because the explosion of the anti-aircraft shells around his plane caused it to vibrate violently thereby shifting the cargo and triggering the explosion.

Are you familiar with how explosives could be made to explode?
or could explode accidentally?

Have you ever been in a plane vibrating severely because it was traversing through severe turbulence.

Once while I was returning in a plane from the Caribbean, the wings flapped so much due to severe turbulence that I thought they would break off. However, the pilot told me not to worry. On another occasion, severe turbulence caused cups and dining plates to hit the ceiling and fall back on passengers. (Passengers that were not strapped in were hurt). Fortunately those were light items. Imagine what injuries would have resulted if they were very much heavier.
