Inside scoop is saying that social media is making this sound much worse than it was. A screw up for sure and there was a Flap overspeed, but there was no GPWS "Don't Sink". There was a level segment at approximately 300' until they sorted out the mistake, apparently. That's what I am hearing, but not verified.
Cause leveling off a WB at 300 feet during takeoff definitely defeats the hyperbole generated by social media?
