"We know this video resulted in some extreme looking manoeuvres that were a result of clever camera angles and editing but it got me thinking."

Could this frame be from one of the videos you had in mind?



I made some measurements and calculations based on the length of the a/c (which I assumed was a dash-9), an assumed width of the runway and the spacing of its distance-to-touchdown markings. Surprisingly, the result was a pitch-attitude of only about 31 degrees.
