World record 747 load.

Heaviest single piece of cargo ever carried by a commercial 747.
2nd heaviest of any 747 operation space shuttle being number 1.

Really?
What kind of inadequacies do you have in life that your reply is something like that? I would hate to know you in the real world as it would take all my effort not to hate you. "uh, not the load that the such and such, blah blah blah..."
Wow.
Hold on, here are your three periods so you feel better...
You're cool!!!

Check out the video in the original post. I don't know where this was filmed, but I count ONE hard hat in the lot of them. Dumb, to say the least.
As the the original question, just because as 747 CAN, does not mean that it SHOULD. Ty-raps for cargo restraints anyone?

... hmmm,
and while we're about it, a quick advisory for jocko2000
see an analyst, QUICK.
Its quite some time since I've seen such a bizarre and laughable over-reaction to something which in REALITY was pretty tame.
Tell your analyst that you said:
" I would hate to know you in the real world as it would take all my effort not to hate you. "uh, not the load that the such and such, blah blah blah..."
You have issues, fellah.

I didn't want to include the Mriya as she's one-off and not a production-line machine!
And Jocko2000, boy am I glad we don't know each other, although I think I'd happily pay for your therapist. Tell me about your mother...

747-8F World Record
I filmed this video at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (north freight ramp) on July 5, 2013. The cargo was well within operating limits for the aircraft and posed no danger. 747-8Fs can safely take off much heavier than this, as the cargo only set the record for the heaviest single piece carried, not the record for heaviest takeoff. Departure was normal and smooth and the cargo was delivered to the destination safely and one time.

A big thank you for sharing this fascinating video with us.
As an aside, I'm interested to know how to achieve the 'time lapse' video effect which was so useful in the video.

747-8F World Record
Ant - It was actually pretty easy. I filmed it at regular speed (30 FPS) and sped it up in Adobe Premiere to 5000% speed. All you have to do is set the speed/duration settings. Glad you enjoyed it!

It's not as if someone said...
"That video looks like Jocko2000's open mouth taking a big c@<#" or anything derogatory which would possibly have merited his initial reply.

It goes down by quite a bit at the nose, it seems like the loaders (especially the one nearest the nose) have to be adjusted up and down to match. is that why the movement into the aircraft stops every so often?
