To get #4 onto the runway like that, he was a long way left of the centreline.

Perhaps it wasn't so much a case of too much wing down, as it was a case of not being properly aligned with the runway. Similar to the pod scrapes that we have seen at the old Hong Kong with guys trying to align with the centreline when it was much too late & they should have been going around, but not for the same reason.
