Maybe they could have gone straight ahead and gained altitude. Alfully slow for a steep turn back towards the airport. But who knows. | |||

I don't know. Possible scenarios could include overweight, improper flap setting, improper power setting, loss of one or more engines... Hard to say. But I will say those kids on the bikes were lucky they were off to the side of the departure path!! And merry Christmas to you guys too. | |||

For the knowledgeable here a I pose this for speculation . . . What if they had maintained straight out or slight left or right turn, instead of what looked like a "gotta get back to the airport" turn? It looked like they were gaining altitude albeit slow gain until they initiated the turn. Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

I'm guessing they had a control failure. That steep turn at the end looks like a mechanical problem to me. The fence posts probably pierced the wings knocking out hydraulics and punching holes in the fuel tanks. Maybe even tearing out direct control cables. | |||
