It looked like the speed brakes were deployed the whole time, that is what probably caused it to go down. :-/

While those are used as speedbrakes, they are also used as ailerons. When the plane dipped to the left, you can see the one on the right wing open, and the left one closed.
I thought I may have saw a pop or something come from the engine right as it left the ground. Kinda hard to tell tho.

i found this on USA today "The crash was caused by distorted data in the aircraft's flight control computers, according to a report released Thursday. Air Force investigators blame the distortion on moisture in the system, which caused the computers to calculate the wrong airspeed."
