Shush. Some of us are going to be spending ~19.5h on 747s in a month's time. We don't need to start having any nightmares before getting on the plane.
(Getting to sleep is going to be tough as it is. One the flight to Mexico I had a dream that I was lying in my bed. When we hit turbulence I woke myself up by yelling 'earthquake!'. I haven't been able to sleep on a plane since. Or hold my head high in a planeful of middle class families wondering who can't fathom why I'm yelling about an earthquake at 33K feet.)
This is why they are supposed to use a support brace under the tail during loading, at least until they've balanced the plane. Here's the companion photo to the one you've linked:
