the survivor reported, that moments after becoming airborne the lights in the aircraft began to flicker and the aircraft appeared to be "stuck in the air". The lights began flickering green and white, then the aircraft slammed into a building. He saw an opening in front of him, unbelted himself and used his feet to push through the opening. Doctors treating the survivor stated, that he was disorientated and suffered multiple injuries all over his body, he is out of danger however

I wonder if there could have been a hydraulic failure of some sort, however considering the plane already had troubles as soon as it was in the air, retracting the gear probably wouldn't have been their main priority anyway. Takeoff config should sound when the flaps are retracted before cruising, and would have to fail as well for the pilots to fly in the first place. Birdstrike seems reasonable too, but since we don't see the entire flight it's not clear whether they were there. I don't see any spouting from the engines, but it's still a possibility. We'll have to wait and see.
