a very steep climb if you ask me...the end of the fuselage almost touches the runway...

...bizz class passengers are already at 500ft while the smoking section is still taxiing ::)

Thats either a ferry flight a short haul flight or a very few passengers flight:) the 747 is powerful enough when its full, thats what happens when its light:)

The angle doesn't look excessive to me. This is why the lower fuselage is shaped as it is.

This is more common than you might think. They usually have a tail bumper fitted under the rear fuselage just in case. Of course, this won't prevent structural damage in extreme cases.

I'll agree with Hagar, that just looks like a normal take off to me, and it wouldn't take much searching to find a report of a 747 tail scrape...
If you want to see an over rotation, look here,

It almost looks fake! How about the moisture clouds on the top of the wings? you don't see that too often in an airliner.
