m to be a lot to learn from this event, mind. Yes, it does appear that Aerosucre takeoffs were a spectator sport, and given the proliferation of 'exciting' Aerosucre takeoff videos on YouTube and elsewhere, operating right on the edge of the envelope with no margin for error or unexpected performance loss appears to be normal for these chaps - the normalisation of deviation, indeed. Well, if you're going to push your luck like that, eventually something like this will happen.
I would not rule out the influence of YouTube stardom.
Numerous accidents have been caused by pilots' common sense being overcome by Luvvie fever.

It's not incredible to consider they were keeping the takeoff as low as possible for the cameras.
