Admission upfront - I'm a UK national transport journalist.

I haven't seen anything here about whether ingestion of foreign objects from the runway might be a possible cause - is that a possibility or would you expect that to cause a problem immediately rather than the 10-15mins after take-off that it seems to have taken?
Foreign Object ingestion would usually manifest itself immediately depending on the object ingested however.
