B52 Bomber Mildenhall Air Fete Take Off!

Was at one of the Mildenhall Airshows back in the 80's when a B52 started it's take off run down the runway, it came off the deck at a very low nose down attitude ( which I know they normally do ) but on this occasion it wasn't getting any higher and kept this very low attitude with nose only a couple of feet off the ground and getting closer to it. Everyone was shaking their heads in disbelief as we had visions of it going in. Luckily it got airborne that was also another close call!
