Well other than a supposed eye-witness saying a wing came off before impact... The two engines appear to have been outputting differently, check the position of the nozzles, a compressor stall perhaps?

Neither.

It was a mechanical failure in the engines, that was known not long after the crash, what exact engine issue came to fruition though is still under investigation, as of the past two days.
Just heard that some of the guys on the Line saw the plane blowing sparks at rotation, not trying to start a flame war, but that tells me FOD is going to be heavily considered in the cause of this mishap.

I wasn't trying to start a flame war, so no worries. ;)

Well then it shouldn't be ruled out completely.
