Look at the slide show, he did go to full power after leaving the runway, had full up elevator as well, he (or she) was trying to power out of it.

Picture 10:

And picture 11:

Note the lack of flames coming out of the aircraft in picture 10. The aircraft was not in afterburner when it departed the runway. What you see in the slide show is debris being sucked through the engine.

As reference, this is what an F-16 in full afterburner looks like:

It appears the engine is spooling up between pic 10 and pic 11. Not in AB, but not at idle either.

It is a multi-million dollar screw up, pilot error.
