What is the terrain like over his exit path? If the runway is on a plateau, with a gully running off at an angle to the centerline, then perhaps he had more clearance than is evident in the videos. Mind you this is my SPECULATION - but if true, maybe this was better planned than we think.
Barit1, yes that is correct. This runway is located in a large flat area (large means almost 100 miles all around) and they had a bit more clearance at the wingtips considering the centerline height.
