Early word was that a cargo door came open right after take-off. There may of been other issues besides the distraction.

I don't fly a Bo but I didn't understand that door falling off rumor either. A witness said that the gear dropped back down after takeoff, not clear why. Very sad, if the pilot had been able to align with the fairway a bit more might have had a much better outcome.
