The angle doesn't look excessive to me. This is why the lower fuselage is shaped as it is.

This is more common than you might think. They usually have a tail bumper fitted under the rear fuselage just in case. Of course, this won't prevent structural damage in extreme cases.

I'll agree with Hagar, that just looks like a normal take off to me, and it wouldn't take much searching to find a report of a 747 tail scrape...

If you want to see an over rotation, look here,

It almost looks fake! How about the moisture clouds on the top of the wings? you don't see that too often in an airliner.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
