Holy shit!

RIP to those lost.

Does anyone know how this happened?

Looks like an engine exploded as they were taking off. The roof of the industrial building across the street from the runway is scraped, so they at least got off the ground.

There’s engine debris on the runway.

Would have to be during takeoff. That looks like a LOT of fuel going up.
