God, Boeing, and the talented pilot in the 737 that managed to get his aircraft to stagger aloft early enough to clear the wayward 747.

I really doubt that an Airbus in normal flight law would allow the pilot to rotate early like that.

They were also very lucky that the 747 was on 14R and not 14L. Though if he was on 14L they may have seen each other.
