accelerated slipstream

Thank you so much Keith. I'm 74 years old and never had the money to take flying lessons. A few weeks ago here in Wichita, Kansas USA a Air King b200 lost his left engine just after rotation and crashed. I wanted to know why. So I did some research and found a little information about the loss of the accelerated slipstream. But not a good explanation of it, so I ask in yahoo answers in the aircraft category for someone to explain it to me. All the pilots that answered me said it had little or no lifting effect. Many of them were seasoned pilots and some also airline pilots. So I kept restructuring my question and providing web links for them to read. However they never read them and turned me in for violations. I believe the answers people give there should be factual and provide web links to support their answers. Would you ask them to explain it to you to see what answer you get? A lot of young people are getting led astray from wrong answers. This information could save someones life.
