The rear wheels reach the runway, the nose rises sharply and the tail appears to make contact with the surface, throwing up a brief puff of dust and smoke.

BBC News's Short, credited on screen to Big Jet TV, shows a British Airways passenger aircraft approaching in windy conditions. After the apparent tail strike, it bounces slightly upward, then steadies and continues along the runway before the footage ends. There is no spoken commentary, only engine and wind noise.

The clip has drawn about 190,000 views in its first 21 hours. It does not establish what caused the sharp change in pitch or show the flight's eventual outcome.
