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

Amazing capture for sure.

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?
