Never flew nor studied heavy jets so I assumed that the aircraft would not have gained any altitude loaded heavily if the flaps were not properly set for takeoff.
I would have thought it would go into the bushes at the end of the runway when it ran out of the ground cushion..
Not arguing the point as I have no time in big iron.
TU-154 is a gas guzzling loud beast that is currently the fastest cruising airliner since the Concorde left service.
Which may barely get it off the ground loaded with no flaps and crash soon after.
Apparently never got above 820 feet
