Sorry if it's far too general a question, but what is the most common cause of a surge?

I've actually got a movie file from my digital camera (not a photo as previously stated) of this a/c taking off, unfortunately I stopped filming about 10 seconds before the flames started appearing! Damn it.

I noticed there was a real whirlwind of dust came across the runway when the a/c was rotating. I don't know if this was caused by the a/c or whether it was a little 'dust devil' type thing. Could ingestion of some crap and rough air cause an issue?
