N7AK MD87

Apparently this MD87 left the runway on take at Houston Executive and burst into flames, being completely destroyed. All 21 on board escaped unharmed

Looking at the footage, what flap settings did it have (if any?).

[adi44]

The General Consensus is that no flap's were selected, the aircraft was incorrectly configured for take off, and attempted to reject that take off, anti-skid deployed but no thrust reversers....

Bit of a long read but :-

Memories of the MD 80 crash at Madrid in 2008 (EC-HFP) also flapless but with the TOWS disabled which caused me to look at the take-off footage of 7AK which appeared to show this one as flapless as well.
