Hobie and Rockhound,

The tyre tracks beyond the berm seem to be from cars or trucks.
The port and starboard wing gear may have hit the top or the berm, or not. The photo doesn't show so, and they would certainly have been within the width of the berm.

If we wanted to finesse, we could debate as to whether the lights on the berm were removed by the undercarriage, the engines or the rear fuselage, but it doesn't really make much difference, does it?

What happened seems pretty clear. A few red herrings have been sent on their way. What led to that happening has now been narrowed down here to a few flight deck scenarios and will eventually be published for all to see, if they're still interested.

And, If I recall correctly, they did use the entire runway. The suspicion that they might have thrown away 700m was laid to rest in one of the earlier threads.
