Interesting question about using trim to rotate. While they might have gotten off the ground and may also have cleared obstacles, additional attempts to free the controls would likely have been just as unsuccessful in the air due to aerodynamic loading on the controls. The end result of an airborne high performance aircraft with no primary flight controls would likely be all aboard perished, plus the impact site at Burlington Mall, Lahey Clinic hospital, scores of residential buildings, etc.
