There’s a video that shows most of the takeoff roll and it looks like the flaps were never configured. The aircraft used the entire 11,000 ft runway and started descending almost as soon as it was out of ground effect. The cause is almost certainly going to start with either improper flap configuration or inadvertent raising of the flaps. The question will be how the crew managed to ignore the audible warnings that should have prevented this. They would not be the first crew to takeoff without the correct flap setting.
