What are dangers of carrying cargo on planes?

Carrying cargo on planes poses several dangers, including the risk of transporting hazardous materials that can lead to fires or explosions if not properly handled. Additionally, improperly secured cargo can shift during flight, potentially affecting the aircraft's balance and control.
