Video: 737 takeoff near tail-strike and stall
Watch as they rotate at a very slow speed causing the aircraft's nose to lift off the ground but not generating enough lift to become fully airborne, & then shortly after stalling they continue to accelerate down the runway to rotate at a faster speed.

looks like they are moving the trailing flaps halfway down the runway?
Those wings are not in a proper take-off configuration. LE slats are deployed but the TE controls look more like a climb setting. Glad he had enough room to recover.
Royal Air Maroc's statement on this event is poorly worded. However, windshear from opposing wake vortices producing a microburst-like effect could indeed have caused the takeoff problem for the 737. Keep in mind the heavy A330 was airborne about one half mile from the 737's start of takeoff roll when passing over runway 18. Its vortices would descend, bounce a bit and spread. With a mild northeasterly wind, the starboard vortex would drift south along runway 18 and generate a tailwind at the surface. The port vortex would drift slightly north if at all and generate a headwind for the 737 which apparently fooled the 737 crew into rotating. Fortunately, they handled the recovery well.
Strange wind. Windsock on field was limp but camera had wind blowing noises.
Easy guys....we yanks may use the checklists but at least recent news confirms we are holding a nice scotch in the other hand!!
That's funny, I don't care who you are! Unless I'm on your drunken pilot flight!
Blow breath test on every flight at the cockpit door where they use to stand as we boarded.

They have scotch? I want some!
