Typical of Facebook commenters, most of them thought the tires were smoking as well.

It's hard to make a call from one video, and telephoto lenses such as that used here can make things look worse than they do out the front windows.

Our takeoff crosswind limit on the 738 is 33 knots including gusts. This takeoff could certainly have been hovering around that number, so while looking a bit dicey, was within the requirements.
