First I never flew the 787 but something I will point out as far as procedures. The 787 is a fly by wire aircraft and has all the modern gee-whiz stuff in the cockpit to include auto throttles. You are at the end of the runway configured for take off which means the before take off check list is completed along with the taxi check list which was completed before taking the runway ...these check list have a couple of important things to do such as speed bugs set, flaps set, trim, and the type of engine power that will be used. You stand the throttles up and hit the auto throttle button and the throttles advance to computed take-off power. once computed take-off speed is reached (call out is V-1 a speed you are supposed to be able to abort the take-off and then v-2 speed is reached which means the aircraft will fly even if an engine is lost so you rotate/leave the ground ) as the aircraft instruments and eyeballs show the aircraft climbing the flying pilot will command "positive rate gear up"..
OK having said all that to set the tone look at the aircraft... Landing gear is still down.... Look at the wings there are no flaps extended..
did the flying pilot call for gear up and the non flying idiot retract the flaps... I find that hard to believe but weird things happen. You can see when the aircraft levels off and then starts its decent.; nose high climb attitude.. Was that due to a dual engine failure or an auto throttle fk up ? I would normally insert my tirade about push-button pilots "here" but I think I will past this time around.
Hydraulic failure and gear stays down ....many questions and few answers but the gear down and no flaps is a biggie IMO.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
