Been flying to MDE for my US Carrier for many years.
Typically at max performance with deciding factors on getting off the ground in terms of 10's of pounds, single passengers and single degrees.

I don't think we were ever that close to the trees, but I surely was never impressed with the distance as we clawed overhead in a 737-800.

Throw in a cargo outfit with the risk of questionable computations and this video doesn't surprise me.

Years ago a DC-8 ploughed into an office park out of MIA because of a tragic load mistake.
