Vietnam Airlines close call at Munich yesterday

Two interesting short videos regarding this incident.

From inside the cabin. Flaps are down and I have no idea if they are the correct level. The takeoff roll seems to be very 'laboured' to my untutored eye. The video also shows that they were on the grass for quite a way.

Edit: I have removed this video as it seems to be on autoplay. If you are interested it should be easy to find it.

The second video is from the ground on the runway and shows what appear to be skid marks at the very end of the runway heading into the grass.

 
These spotters captured the fly pasts and the landing (1:38, it is a very long video) where the tyres shredding clearly visible.

Found the ‘in cabin’ video… yikes! That’s painful to watch :(

The plane seems to reach a certain speed and then… nothing… just keeps going at the same speed. Until it runs out of runway.
