Boeing 767 freighter suffers tail strike, but continues flying for 8 hours
A Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft suffered a tail strike while departing from Tokyo, Japan, to Vancouver, Canada, but continued the flight and reached the destination around 8 hours after the incident. (www.aerotime.aero) 기타...
I’m guessing that a Vr of 150 mph the tail contacted the runway for about 3/4 of a second. The aircraft would be travelling at about 65 metre per second at that speed.
Devil's advocate here,
I wonder if ATC notified the last departure. Otherwise it's won't be that easy for flight deck to hear the tail strike...
Interestingly Mentor Pilot just made a video no long ago talking about 737-800 hade a very serious tail strike, even hit the wall with the wheels, and pilots elected to continue untill the company told them to divert.

That was Lion Air... which should tell you the safety consciousness of the airline. The crew aren't paid unless they continue their flight to destination.
They aren't paid if they die on the way there, either. :)
Air India Express flight 611. That "tail strike" was actually a tail strike followed by striking and taking out part of the ILS array followed by the wheels smashing through the upper part of the perimeter wall.
That's 91 feet long, a 1/2 foot wide, but only a minuscule deep of a dig into the runway.
So pretty long, but very shallow. Like my last relationship. HEYO.
