Narrative:

In sum: (original ASRS report damaged during handling at post office.) after takeoff and during the climb, the flight crew heard some unidentifiable noise that they suspected was caused by a possible load shift of their cargo. The flight engineer was sent to check the security of the freight and reported back to the captain that everything appeared to be normal. The aircraft continued on to original scheduled destination. The flight crew discussed the possibility of a tire failure. A flyby at mco with the landing gear down did not reveal to ground personnel any obvious damage to the undercarriage or tires. After landing, the landing gear and tires were inspected by company personnel and found to be svcable. Further inspection in the cargo holds revealed that a box that was improperly secured in one of the cargo bays had apparently shifted on rotation during the takeoff roll.
