Known problem, right? Because otherwise why was someone recording?
We live in a world where practically everyone carries a digital video camera in their pocket. You only need one of the city's nine million residents to think the plane flying overhead sounds strange and start recording.
That and watching planes land and take off has been a longstanding hobby for some people
Guilty as charged. It's quite nice, especially seeing some spectacular landings.
This appears to be a second or even third generation copy from someone filming a screen with their cell phone (presumably while battling parkinson's disease). The original may have been from a cctv camera. Also there are a good number of autists around the world who just film planes all day long.
Did it crash while trying to land on a runway? Doesn’t look like they’re falling out of the sky.
No, it crashed just after takeoff. About 1 mile southwest of the end of runway 23.
They never took gear up, flaps were in, and they did make a mayday call.
Flaps were extended but their engines failed according to twitter
This pilot agrees with what you said :

A flaps up, power on stall does seem like the most probable cause. A 787 is full FBW, it does NOT have the Airbus's alpha floor protection. If you configure a Boeing to stall, the computer won't stop you.
Now the news has an excuse to avoid riot coverage
