Quoted comment by FuturisticMan: That is a full load in thin air.
Umm... check the altitude of the airport before posting next time.
In summer time the temperature in Tivat is around 32-35oC. This is considered thin air by some, as suggested in the POH of all aircrafts.
Yeah but Tivat is only just above sea level. A high temperature shouldnt make much difference to a large powerful airliner. Unless it was grossly overloaded.

Density altitude is the critical parameter here, assuming that the aircraft is not overloaded. As this one seem to be a cargo overloading is plausible yes :-).
Quoted comment by ddhh1: lol they must have been pissing them selfs with laughter up in that cockpit!
or shitting a brick just praying they dont need to abort take off!
I would venture to guess that aborting at that point was no longer an option but how cool would that be to be the spectators having that buzz your head!
