This plane IMO had an issue with weight and balance since take off.

Yikes. Going to be real interested in what the investigation says, pretty amazing that they came out of it that well, lucky the trees up there are skinny.
Long take off run barely got airborne. It happened too fast for someone to say Oh $hit before crash and everybody in shock and thanking to whomever gods they pray to that they survived.

Very lucky and a speedy recovery to the pilotDue to warming temperatures there was an increase in density altitude and we had a hard time getting adequate lift. After taking off we hit an air pocket that made us rapidly loose altitude, pushing us down into the trees.
Lucky escape. The pilot looked really beaten up. I hope he makes a full recovery.

W&B and density altitude, the dude literally rolled off the runway.
