There’s some video out there showing them going beyond the runway. Yikes

The preliminary report says 400’ ft off the end in the grass and first row of approach lights when it finally lifted off. And the crew reported a “low tire pressure” and needed to return. I guess running off the end into the dirt and hitting approach lights wasn’t as much of a concern as the low tire pressure light??

This could’ve been a whole lot worse!

Can’t imagine what flex temp or reduce thrust/flap setting they used but obviously a gross error on the calculation (assuming the W&B was correct)…

From video it doesn’t sound like any thrust changes… how do you not go to toga power when you start running out of 13k feet of runway? It’ll be interesting to see
 
how overweight, or reduced thrust, or both, does a 787 have to be, to not be able to lift off of a 13,100+ foot runway? I wouldn’t think it would be a config error, as that would give an instant warning. The last jet i saw using significant amounts of runway like that, nearly 10,000 feet, were fully loaded A-model KC-135 tankers.
