The N-1 or 2 take off can be quite tricky on the 744 especially at low speeds when you can end up 90 degrees of runway heading in a matter less than a second with the tiller being unable to correct this.
Having said this knowing the operator was the one who had a crash in Russia couple of months ago because the crew was far above the 3 degree glide maybe something might be wrong with the cockpit culture or training?

Yes it was the Turks Airbubba
