ILS27LEFT
P.S. Many said 27L has got same stretch of grass as 27R: from Google maybe it looks the same, from the air it seems that they would have touched down on the car park if same incident happened on 27right. The grass in front of 27R looks ~50/100mt shorter than the one where the 777 gently landed but I could be wrong. Distance from the last light to the beginning of runway.
Put these 2 up on your screen and compare.

There's nothing of significance in it as far as I can see.
