Jesus.......
Always easy to comment on something knowing the outcome...but that was crap all over the place....
Take-Off is crap-something you can do when you are in good conditions, but this is neither a Cat-A departure nor a departure for white-out scenarios...
Then-difficult to see from the video (but again-knowing the outcome)-it looks like the weather is really crap...so maybe they were going to pull into the clouds on an "IFR"departure?
But then again-especially flying into IMC (if thatīs what they intended to do) OR if you are flying in extreme weather, you set yourself up for a straight departure to avoid any vertigo and/or disorientation....
