By the time we see the airplane in the upper right corner of the dash cam, it's already too late. The airplane appears to be 1000' 3/4 distance down runway length (way too high), the airspeed is creeping way below V2, stick shaker is rattling, the guys have already run the stab full forward and they're both pushing the control wheels into the instrument panel. In this violent pitch-up, the airplane should have been rolled manually into a bank by 200 feet to have had any hope of survival for the guys. But, obviously they had no training and no knowledge of this last resort, life saving technique.
