ETMN - in your 5th still photo, we seemingly see a blade from the rotor fan of the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) in the wreckage.
This would seem to suggest all the available procedures were followed, but without power there was no lift across the airfoils and the aircraft just sank until it crashed.
Initially, this looks like some sort of complete double engine failure shortly after V2. Witnesses on the ground reported a large "bang" prior to what ATC referred to as "V1". Prior to V1, if accurate, the 787 was still able to reject the takeoff, but apparently elected not to. (Likely believing they had one good engine, and could go around). If something else caused the #2 engine to fail shortly afterwards, past V2, then they were doomed. No muti-engine aircraft could have gone around at that point.
I suspect we will find this incident to be the "perfect storm" in aviation.
Most people ask when a pilot is most concerned, and my answer has always been...during the ground to flight transition phase. This is when the most stress is placed on the operating systems, and everyone has to be on their toes. People always ask..."Aren't you afraid of turbulence???". Answer..."No, I actually look forward to it on cruise...but not so much during takeoff. Especially micro-bursts and shear."
