Dreamliner first flight

Anybody see the video or pictures ?

I *know* conceptually that the composite wings and spars are a good things, though the spars had to be reinforced with real metal as they cracked before, but watching that plane's wings practically do the "YMCA" on take off and landing really bothers me... It looks wrong...

I know gliders do too, I'm sure flexible is a good thing, but that flexible? it's gonna take some getting used to...
