I happen to get a couple of shots of the tail strike. Cannot actually see the contact due to my short ladder, however the attitude of the take off says it all. I had the scanner on and I dont think the United aircrew realised they made contact. It was the Etihad pilot on taxi out to the bay that reported it to ATC. Forgive the quality of the shots, it is me we are talking about
. The ground staff reported metal shavings on the runway and had to be swept up before 34L and 25 were available.
