TAMs Brazil Crash Final Moments Caught on Tape

From what I've read, it looks like one of the thrust reversers (Right side) wasn't working. That is why the plane seems to turn to the left. The left thruster was working making the plane veer to the left and depart the runway. When the pilot realized he wasn't going to make it, he attempted to take off again, but it was too late. He managed to jump over the busy road before hitting the building though. Read story below.
