At 22 sec in twr instruct "after departure right turn to intercept 330."

According to a witness, shortly after t/o there was an explosion and the a/c veered left and came down. At this point the twr were unaware of the problem and presumably the instruction to "turn right immediately" was because they were enforcing the original departure info. Another a/c then informed twr of the accident.
