Could be but I ran it a number of times stopping it as it progresses and it seems that the sway starts just about the time he clears the semi trailer. That would be about the time that the "suction" would grab it and the air flow from the front of the semi would kick in. The physics of this type of accident (I have investigated many, many of them) generally starts the action just about where this one looks like it starts.
I should add that, as you mentioned, the weight on the shelf on the back of the trailer adds to the instability. I don't know where this accident happened but it looks very much like I-40 in Arizona or New Mexico and it just almost always blows from the north in the Winter or the south in the Summer and blows hard at times.
What are the chances of this happening to a fifth wheel
