Pan Am Flt. 845 took off from SFO enroute to Tokyo in 1971. They hit the approach lights at the departure end and seriously damaged the aircraft. The emergency landing was filmed by a local news crew. I can't find the video but I've seen it so I know it exists. Can anyone provide a link to that vid?
It's an interesting one. The aft body gear was damaged so after the jet came to a stop it tipped back on to its tail. The deck angle and high winds caused the forward slides to fold back against the fuselage and were rendered useless. It is a pretty incredible film.
