Awesome... until you realize its probably on a 1/4 tank of fuel with no passengers or luggage that would prevent this maneuver. Meh.
Also a little research shows that the takeoff angle is actually around 60 degrees, pretty steep compared to a normal takeoff but calling it near vertical is a strech, the camera work makes the angle look more severe. They have been doing this maneuver in the 787-9 at European airshows since 2012.

why all the hate for the creamliner? it's a transport category airplane with a p/w better than a lot of fighters, it's an awesome airplane

Maybe the 787-8, the 900 didn't leave the ground until September 2013.
