Perhaps the packs went off for a packs off takeoff?

A CFM takes about a minute to start and stabilise, so if TOGA was pressed 45 secs after the start sequence had been initiated there would have been a fair bit of thrust asymmetry during the initial acceleration - as well as a thermally 'shocked' engine!
