Looks like a tragic tragic lack of lift and thrust. PF seems to combat sink (or lack of climb rate) by simply pulling back nto deeper draggy stall.
Were flaps up at start of roll? or subsequently after marginal liftoff ? Unfamiliar with 787s interlocks and take-off protections but undercarriage should have been up.or going up in that state at a minimum

looking at that fireball I\x92d suggest any survivors are not from the aircraft, but from the local population.

No, nothing abrupt, but a loss of thrust, yes?

yes it was introduced/reintroduced by some airlines in the 70s I believe.

it was clearly not a stalled situation though, until the last few seconds when the PF started a flare mameouve presumably to reduce vertical impact speed.

and with takeoff thrust you wouldn\x92t be stalling that aircraft in that config and situation easily.

no I relly don\x92t agree aerodynamic drag from a stalled wing is going to slow an aircraft with TO thrust by that much. nope.

In any other aircraft, if you lose thrust in all your engines, you would be pushing the nose down immediately!

Dont follow that logic at all\x85 this flare in the last second or three wasn\x92t IMHO to stretch the glide but reduce vertical impact speed.
sully flared almost perfectly, nothing to do with \x91stretching\x92 the glide.

I expect you (or most of us) reallly don’t know enough about the Flight Control Systems to say that. Any FBW intervention would have been in play and the Captain would notimmediately by instinct have lowered the nose dramatically, whilst assessing the situation… far too low and too much going on.
