Same thing happened to Pan Am in San Fransisco years ago:
The 747 crew screwed up their performance numbers and hit the approach lights on take off. The light structure ripped open 2 hydraulic systems (or was it 3?)
The return and landing was filmed. Hard landing on partial main gear.
Probably on You Tube somewhere now.

Never seen anybody doing intersection take offs on RWY 09 in MIA.
With 31 degrees and light winds it is hard enough to get airborne using full length
