    Reposting my comment from the other thread:

    Plane was doomed, that is simply not recoverable… explosive uncontained engine failure (including the entire engine literally detaching from the plane), possibly from runway debris, could cause catastrophic hydraulic damage and damage to control surfaces, looks like it may have taken out a second engine as well. Thrust from the right engine flips it over.

    At max weight, you’re too heavy, with only one engine. There’s not enough runway to stop and not enough energy to fly. Intense fire burning up the left wing. Renders the aircraft completely unflyable. Sad to say, there’s really nothing to be done at that point other than making peace with the end.
