The beginning of the vid looks so unreal, but apparently it is real.

Looks like they took awhile to shut off the fuel to #2 engine.

Yeah, it's not a priority, really. the engine is on fire all the time 
and from the look of it it was still producing thrust anyway. 
The procedure is this ( though it varies form airline to airline) 
The takeoff was more than likely done at rduced thrust in the first 
place. Looks like the ingestion happend just after rotation so it was 
"go" without any question about it. 
First thing is the non handling pilot calls out the nature of the 
failure. in this case, he probably just said "engine failure, right 
engine" and nothing else is done except to raise the gear at positive 
rate and cancel any aural warnings. the next is to select full thrust on 
the live engine. If they had RR engines, they would have firewalled 
them, if it was Pratts, thye would have set max TO thrust. they were 
probably passing about 200 feet when all this happened. Note, the full 
thrust thing is not required, just nice to do. 
Next, after they were stablised in the climb, they handling pilot would 
have asked to confirm the nature of the problem. the NH would have 
spelled out what he thinks it is in detail and the non handling would 
ask for the engine fire checklist (this is used by most boeing operators 
these days for all engine probs whether or not the engne is actually 
burning) The NH woudl initiate it using the memory items startinf with 
the autothrottle switch to off, the thrust lever affected engine to 
idle, the start switch ( fuel) to off and th efire switch to pull and 
then if there is a fire, to rotate to fire first one bottle of 
extinguishant then the second after 30 seconds. At each item, the 
handling pilot must confirm that he has the correct thrust lever, 
switch, whatever, so as to minimise the chance of screwing up and 
shutting down the wrong one. 
By the time al this is done, you're easily at 1,000' and it's time to 
level off and accelerate, cleaning up. 
If you're coing straight back though, it;s probably best to leave the 
flaps where they are and get into the remeaining checklists in order to 
tidy the airplane up for landing.

You left Anthony in the dust at "non-handling pilot".
Here's another thought experiment for him:  You are the NHP in a real cockpit and incur a 
bird-strike flameout right after rotation.
1.  Which will you do first:  #1 in your pants, or #2 in your pants?
2.  What will be your last words on the CVR, "Oh, ****!" or "Merde!"?
3.  Who inherits the rice cooker?

Well, the non handling part should be right up his street.

I have read that the 737 has a higher takeoff weight than landing
weight -- ie you could takeoff heavier than you could land.
Is that so? Is it just a recommendation? If this were to happen in a
737 and you need to land right away, is the weight issue blown off?
(which leads me to suspect that it can be blown off, ie, it is a
recommendation). If not, why would you ever take off heavier than you
could successfully land?

Yes, you just log it and there is an inspection. Depends on the type, but 
it could take three minutes or hours, depending.

To make money hauling ****, of course! 
There are two reasons for the lower landing weight. one is structural. The 
flaps are out further and the strain on the airframe is larger during 
approach. Two, if you bang it onto the runway, the stresses from the higher 
wieghts could damage the thing and the other reason can be peformance. the 
airplane won't climb as readily with approach flap out. The performance one 
is not usually an issue, though. Mostly only if you'r ehot and high or 
there are obstacles in the go around. 
We can dump fuel n a lot of airplanes for this very reason. The 737 does 
not have this facility, though. Mostly it's a long haul thing.

That is true for a great many aircraft, especially large aircraft.

It's a strong recommendation.  You can either dump fuel until you are under
the maximum landing weight, or you can land overweight.  In the latter case,
however, you risk structural damage to the aircraft, which is why the
limitation on landing weight exists.
> If not, why would you ever take off heavier than you could successfully land?
Because you might have a full load of fuel that you'll burn off during the
flight.
