Hmm, more likely a stall/spin event. The pitch attitude seems grossly 
excessive just after liftoff. Viewing the video one wants the crew to 
immediatly push the stick to dump the nose even before the right wing drops.

Reading the comments one can see the event is supposed to concern a 
Caribou test flight at Gimli airport, Canada. Some say an elevator lock 
was left engaged. If this is confirmed, it seems consistent with the 
aircraft behaviour on the video.

FWIW
