I also considered that to be a possibility, but from carefully listening to the audio portion of the video, the sound of the engines doesn't seem to change until after the airplane departed the runway. Only after the airplane was well off of the runway does the sound change to the "flat pitch'" sound characteristic of the older single shaft turbo-prop engines. The video is showing the right engine of the airplane, but with the stroboscopic effect of modern digital cameras, it's tough to tell if the engine is producing power; however, I think that it is fairly safe to assume that the failed engine (No.1) had already been shut down and feathered.
Whatever the cause, it's a shame that the pilot and mechanic lost their lives. R.I.P.
