Fortunately there are no reports of injuries. It's a good thing this was a cargo aircraft.

God must have a plan for that crew.
A “Did we pay our insurance premium this month” moment.
"We see from the large tracks on the runway that the pilot tried to stop the aircraft, because he understood he could not bring it up into the air, and he drove it off the runway," Boileau said.
Looks like Boileau has trouble making up his mind.
Wonder who’s the MRO for Kalitta Air on this one?

Maybe the plane was already airborne and hit the runway again. Allowed maximum landing weight is about 100 tonnes less than MTOW.
The picture looks to me like the undercarriage still supports the tail section but the fueled wing section was to heavy for that little jump.
