Same crash...this version includes the truck drivers’ reaction (video is from his dash cam):

Re: Video linked in Post 10

That video shows the left wing was burning away before impact. The starboard wing, still intact, was generating lift and tipped the plane on its side as it crashed. With the port wing basically gone, there was nothing to counter the lift and the pilot couldn't belly in.

It appears the crew had a few brief moments where, if the crew was aware of the fire, they could have aborted the takeoff even if it meant overshooting the runway.
