That photo is quite staggering!

I was an F/E for many years on the 747-100/200/300/SP and never in those years did I see the end of the runway that closely. It did seem to get a bit 'tight' leaving NBO northbound at times on a 747-100, and 'tight' also on a 747-200 leaving JNB northbound. However I don't believe it was ever as 'tight' as shown in that photo.

I'll wait for the results of the investigation before I make any comment whatsoever on this latest tragic accident.

Sincere condolances to the families of those involved.
