And it sounds like this was more than a trim runaway issue if they had to separate the flight controls, but no need for speculation.

Two minutes after takeoff, they're climbing through 7,200 feet doing decelerating toward 160 knots in a tight right turn according to FlightAware. -- Wow, that's a pants sh*tting moment for sure.
Starting that turn pronto to re-orient their lift vector away from the moon could have been what saved their bacon and gave them the time needed to run the QRH and handle the emergency.
I hope the details of this event are eventually put out to the pilot group so everyone can learn from it.
Good job by the crew!
