Something should have crossed their minds when they passed the three-board seconds after they came off the brakes.

The pilot and copilot probably had a period of disbelief and then panic when they saw how quickly that row of red lights was coming up and they had not made rotation speed. It would be a tough call to either abort and run off the end of the runway or pull up,and stay in ground effect to avoid stalling till you gain some speed. Looks like they didn't get over to the other side of the power curve and they stalled.
