The HUD in the incident aircraft provides runway remaining information that counts down in 500 ft increments. (5000 feet remaining in the first pic at the above link).
And obviously, the crew training would certainly have included runway lighting, the changes from white CL lights to red/white and to all red, etc.
So this remains a puzzling incident...
