I’ve never seen a tail strike quite so… prolonged. The CCTV surveillance footage captured the aircraft attempting to take off from runway 35L. The nose is high in the air with the Boeing’s tail scraping along the runway as a grey plume of smoke forms. Screenshot courtesy of Flightradar24.com

The key take-off speeds are V 1 , V 2 and V R.
