I've havn't heard anymore about this event, but really havn't stopped thinking about it either from the perspective of an experienced kingair pilot. I keep coming back to the same scenario. A seemingly normal takeoff roll to VR then an overwhelming shock horror event so radical, I don't raise the gear, struggle to fly straight, brace myself for an impending crash and fire off a mayday call. Hard to imagine. A 100kg's of water in the belly bringing the cofg way beyond the aft limit at rotation would probably do it.
