Contexto
One witness who was abeam the lift-off point stated that he heard an explosion, as if a tyre had burst, just as the aircraft became airborne.
The fact that the airplane did not encounter a windshear was further corroborated by the lack of divergence between the airplane's ground speed and indicated airspeed during the time it was airborne.
