Do they know what happened?

Departure stall? Seems most likely...

A wind-shear induced departure stall (of sorts), is my guess. Not so much a departure stall (as in trying to outclimb your thrust)(pretty tough to do in a jet).. but enough of a drop in airspeed when the wind changed, to change a climb into a nose-up descent.. instantly..

I won't speculate further..

This article sums up this passenger's priorities. Just survived a plane crash, and you're complaining that you can't get a drink? I mean, I love to drink too, and after that ordeal I would LOVE one, but to whine about it to the media and try to make the airline look bad? Come on now...

The Fark headline was pretty funny...You are on a plane that has crashed and caught fire during takeoff. Do you: a) get the fark out of the burning plane before you die, b) get the fark out of the burning plane before you die, or c) update Twitter

I don't think the plane ever left the runway, so I would rule out a departure stall. Something caused the crew to abort takeoff and run off the side of the runway. Kudos to the Denver fire crews for a job well done. Of course the plane did stop just outside of the firestation. Grin
