Aeromexico B762 at Madrid on Apr 16th 2013, tail strike on takeoff

Heavy tail strike here by the looks of it.......

Accident: Aeromexico B762 at Madrid on Apr 16th 2013, tail strike on takeoff


An Air Europa A332 took off 7 mins later on the same runway damaging its nose wheel. . .

Incident: Air Europa A332 at Madrid on Apr 16th 2013, damaged nose gear tyres on takeoff

Main thing is everyone is ok but it could easily have been a lot worse !!!

I wonder did the Aeromexico crew report the tail strike immediately after takeoff as the Air Europa A332 was allowed takeoff on the same runway or was there a runway 'inspection' carried out ????

Some layers of cheese stacking up here .........
