Tail damage

I have seen a few 747 with tail strike damage.
But none as bad as this one.

Generally, the tail strike is limited to the belly (skin) area.
Here it appears that it is a serious "over-rotation" problem.
After the belly scraped, continued rotation further into APU area.

I shall say nothing.

Happy contrails
