a few more important issues

On rotation the aircraft had a tendency to roll right. Captain maintained wings level by input of 30 degrees of left control wheel. Boeing talk about 6 degrees left control wheel to counter structural deviation.

So, why did the Captain have to input 30 degrees of left control wheel to keep the bank angle within the 3 degree limit? I do not blindly accept that rudder trim made up the difference somehow.

Also, only the boxes were taken from the wreckage, and everything else was left to be looted. There were suspected spoiler retraction issues with the SF version, and nothing in this report touched on this issue.

Thoughts?
