I've seen a video where a cargo plane did a similar takeoff, and then dropped right the frick out of the sky and crashed with a fiery landing.
No thanks.
Here's a bigger plane doing the same stuff in the OP.

I would. Ever flown out of John Wayne Airport in CA? Noise restrictions make the takeoff feel a lot like that..

When I see this it reminds me of that freighter crashing during takeoff in Iraq. Horrifying. I would not ride in that.
ETA Afghanistan, not Iraq.
Video if you want to be horrified.
Same thing. I think that video has worked itself into my nightmares of what a takeoff crash looks like.

I don't know what's more amazing: that takeoff or the operational 727 on the taxiway.

I think some of your gifs are the same plane
Posted on 1/15/18 at 6:06 pm to LanierSpots
They are gifs are of the Boeing 787 dreamliner.

The cargo in that plane wasn't properly lashed down. A jeep or tank came lose, rolled to the back and caused the planes load to shift so severely it crashed.
Terrible.

We were on one out of Orlando last year to New Orleans... It was a month old... Talk about a sweet plane...

Meh,cleared a FedEx 757 that did a more impressive vertical takeoff. When they are empty that can do impressive shite.

I used to CFI out of John Wayne in bugsmashers.
//not so CSB

I flew out of John Wayne Int'l once where the plane did something similar to that.
The cities basically grew and built right up to the airport's property line and the runway's pretty short. The short runway and overdevelopment near the airport means that takeoff runs that are more typical will put planes over houses at low altitudes and high thrust, making for lots of noise for the people in the houses. So, the airport made an agreement with the surrounding areas that they'll keep the noise below a maximum level as measured on the ground.
So, because of this agreement and the short runway, in order to be able to leave the earth (without abruptly and spectacularly returning to it) and still be able to keep the noise levels down, some planes have to lock the brakes and spool the engines up to damn near full throttle at the end of the runway. The plane vibrates and just doesn't go anywhere while the engines spool up and start screaming. Then, when the engines have developed enough thrust, the pilot releases the brakes and you get pushed way back in your seat as the plane gathers speed QUICKLY. After the plane gathers enough speed, the pilot then rotates the plane and takes it airborne. You can feel yourself pointed skyward and still kind of pressed back in your seat as the pilot maintains a pretty steep angle and full throttle so the plane climbs as quickly as possible in order to be at a high enough altitude and a safe speed before they reach the noise abatement areas. Finally, you feel like you crest the top of a rollercoster hill as the pilot sharply levels the plane off to remain at the proper departure altitude and throttles the engines way back to keep noise down until they're clear of the noise abatement zone. After that, it's pretty normal.
It. Is. fricking. Awesome.

TTA used to fly that way that is why they used to call them tree top airlines

That happens when the payload isn't secured well enough and all the weight shifts back. Happened in Florida a few years ago too.

You should see the maneuvering this thing does during submarine communication operations.

Would not want to be stuck in the shitter at takeoff on that one
