The video I saw before he crashed he was traveling very slow, almost gliding. "
I have no way of verifying the conversation and it doesn't make much sense to me that the pilot would have called mayday on the runway and continued with the take-off, but there you have it.
I think the large smoke plume and post impact fire would suggest there was plenty of fuel on board. Good representation Ben Morgan.
