This video is amazing. Been on a 747 once but didn't get a window seat. I had no idea the wings can flex so much. And seeing the engines shake after take off is crazy. I can watch this video all day lol.
I can't believe how much power these things have.

    Yeah, I saw others taking off in good weather but the flex wasn't as extreme. I love how the wing bends up as lift is created.
    Engine #4 looked like it was about to fall off lol.

    HOLY CRAP! 24ft bend until it broke!
    I'd love to see the flex on the new A380.

    if they didn't flex, they'd break right off...

    Not knowing but could a pilot do anything to break the wings? Like could it be stalled, pulled up after a nose down high speed thing?

    Of course. It is not that hard to break an airplane. Dive. Pull out. Exceed structural limits. Fall apart. Die.

    Yeah, flying in a 747 is nuts. I hate it when I'm in the inner aisle, the plane just rumbles down the runway forever, swaying side to side. Then lifts off.
