It's unreal that anyone was ever able to engineer something this HUGE, and be able to get it off the ground.

wow quick takeoff only 19 seconds

Wrong, these ARE Trent 900s. They make that unique buzz sound at take-off power, and the 777 spool-up sound is different. plus if you pause at 0:17, you see a square logo, Engine alliance has a differently shaped and coloured logo.

The engines that this A380 is using are the GE90 derivatives the GP7000 or GP7200 not the traditional Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines. You can tell by the noise the engines make and by their sheer size.
If you don't believe me go look at some Boeing 777 (which uses GE90's) takeoffs and listen to the engines when they rev up. It's the exact same sound.

OMG, that's some awesome power!

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
A short takeoff and a steep angle (not in this video) sucks gas like a fire hose!!! The A380 does NOT take off short - unless you love to burn gas!!! This was done as a public relations takeoff - to show it can do it, to give the crowd a little "heat blast" - and to show the shadow of the plane - not just the tail - edge on! Another 10 seconds and you would see the outline of the A380 - which is very impressive!!
