Wonder why he veered of? Very low [100ft]. Gear still down[?], the wheels hit the Focus Furniture roof they say.
Probably enough room to land straight ahead [on the runway]? Or to do a ‘controlled crash’. If the plane had NOT veered. BUT that is just my THOUGHTS.
Many years ago, I had a takeoff problem. Aircraft started to quickly roll at about 100 ft. In 30 to 60secs it would have been upside down!
Very luckily, I started to reverse everything I had done since take off. The 1st choice was the Flaps. I put them DOWN & that stopped the roll. Wow. When landing we found a small pebble had lodged in the one Flap Channel preventing it from ‘going up’. So in an ‘Up’ mode, I had asymmetric flaps. This was ‘acting’ like an aileron making the plane roll & veer.
