I saw this on the news the other day, but couldn't find the video online. :)

Amazing capture for sure. :o

Easy for me to say but I'm wondering why he didn't abort the take-off. ::)

Wow! I tried to get that brief glimpse of his water rudders, I don't think they were down. He appeared to be attempting a right turn at first and the tail rudder didn't do the turn as he built speed?
