Way back when, PanAm wasn't as lucky; they put the approach lights through the bottom of the fuselage while rotating. No real drama until they had to land with wing gear only (B747) on the subsequent return. However, when the aircraft came to a stop, it sat back on its tail and the evacuation went sideways when pax tried to exit the upper deck slide which was not close to the ground.
