Can't find anything other than the same story repeated on other wires and the aviation-specific news sites are offline on weekends. From the details given it would seem to be a hairy departure (the 'roaring') from 8R, the reef runway. The extended centreline goes right over Honolulu and the building in question sits very close to if not exactly astride it. For noise abatement (an airliner hitting a high-rise makes a terrible bang) an immediate right turn when safe is required departing 8R. Don't know why this flight was unable to comply.
Usual caution should be applied wrt height and distance estimates from 'eye-witnesses', but the fact they could identify the carrier would seem to indicate this was potentially serious.
