Nothing new there is a video from several years back of one taking off in Aussy land down under went right to the end before rotating. Tower operator made the comment while filming it that wow hope I have enough battries to film the crash.
I’m sure that happens at that strip, with that a/c more than we’d like to know. Used every inch, watch the deflection on rotation.. took a hot minute to get that nose up.
OOPS it was there smalller freighter that I saw. The controler said there goes Vodka one and you know its sure slow.
