Well, those engines still give you around 70000lbs of thrust (each engine) with TOGA so naturally there will be definite nose-up pitch
How much sand, and other debris would be consumed by these engine in TOGA mode with the belly of the aircraft on or that close to the ground. I would have assumed either a single or possibly twin catastrophic failure.
