Those older Hercs need to be parked.
Js now, I hated the H..every time I took off I spent the whole flight wondering what would go wrong today. They had their run, they all need to be sent to the bone yard.

I don’t know anything about those engines, prop governor and backup or fail safe systems.
Any chance an outboard prop going flat or even beta could have caused this?

This one was an E not an H.

What about something similar to what happened a few years ago overseas with a charter or cargo company (the name is escaping me, maybe National) and the weight shifting on takeoff?

I saw part of something that looked similar in an F-15 crash after take off. Essentially the aileron rudder interconnect was installed backwards. The faster you went the more the rudder put you out of control. I guess the points are, they will figure it out, and it could be a lot of things.

The flight path may possibly indicate a split flap occurred on flap retraction? the left flap retracted from the take-off position but the right one didn't and then they couldn't lower the left flap back into position to compensate. Don't know if that is even possible on the C-130. The aircraft is rotating about the roll axis even in a 90 degrees nose-down attitude. Beyond tragic. Prayers for the families.

Looks like something asymmetric... engine out, flaps, elevators. Too bad they didn't send it to DM last month

I think it was a brief stopover in SAV, probably not long enough for controls to get mis-rigged.
