Have you tried this MCAS-trim-Runway in the sim? According to the sim, the aircraft is only just about controllable with two gorillas hauling back in unison, with both feet up on the foot-bar and hauling about 40 kg pressure on each stick. And that was in level flight with the CofG in the central position.

Silver
So, you just took off, engines still at TO power, you retract the flaps... and start fighting Mcas as per above description. No time to manage engine power so you are gaining speed...
you remember mcas. Somehow you pull the circuir breaker. With both pilots pulling the stick the plane now goes into a steep climb. Followed by stall, and crash due to unsuccessful recovery...

Could it match, in theory?
