Double Rotation.... Ouch!!
At 1:04 into the clip... Gets real close. Looks like crew overrotated or rotated early... just waiting to break ground... Then second rotation wasn't (supposed) to be until positive rate.... But they didn have positive rate... initiated second rotation.... and they further decreased clearance.... Reminded me of a DC-8 rotation.... rotate to 8 (degrees) and wait.

Was this a management crew??

It was sunny out, it had to be a mangler crew.

It didn't look like a tail strike to me, but go look at the MX History for 850. Pay particular attention to the mx writeup concerning a windshear alert.

Was there a TV crew there? If yes, then it was a management crew.

They transition to a sideview just after liftoff - that sideview would have been interesting to see through rotation.

Boy, I bet old Chuck Turpen is so happy that they brought out the A Team to score the TD on this one.

Could they have found two uglier guys than PC and BG to put on that video? Yikes.
