At 1:19 in the video you posted a witness reports hearing Pop pop and seeing sparks before the jet started listing to one side.

So with that, it sounds like the right engine failed, lost thrust at the low speed caused it to stall before the pilot could correct and gain altitude/speed with one engine.
