which they didn't have with a 4177 feet TORA

To be used with some caution until official ADSB data is published, but as all other datapoints seem to be pretty consistent, it seems to indicate they accelerated very slowly the first couple of hundreds meters, direction D4

The estimate of DRUK seems to be more likely

At that point, height AAL would have been approx 175-200 feet - still low enough to scare the motorists ...

I very much doubt that at the first position indicated, they were still on the ground = plowing through the fields, as that terrain has a very slight downhill slope.
Just after crossing the airport access road (with some trees and pretty tall lighting posts) they were at around 75ft (rounded to the nearest 25) + a little extra terrain clearance from the slight downhill slope.
THe ADSB reported wind is fully cross, with a pinch of tail component. That didn't help either...
Seconds (or should I say feet) from disaster....
