A fully loaded Russian IL-76 cargo plane. Payload 1 million pounds!!!!

This plane barely takes off from Australian runway, control tower jokes until they realize how close to disaster it was.

Listen to the "controllers" in the tower who are Australian.

Ya gotta love it. "The Vodka Burner" as the Aussies call it, literally uses every inch of runway.

WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO.. (shot from the tower)

You can HEAR THE CONVERSATION IN THE TOWER. They are incredulous--that it makes it.
