I don't know the exact timing of:
a)when the departure rotated and;
b)when EGF crossed the hold line,
but I'm fairly sure a) preceded b).
It was a runway incursion which could have had a much different outcome had a heavier aircraft been departing and the timing been a fraction different.
Is a runway incursion in general newsworthy? Not my call, but anything that brings safety to the forefront is good, unless it is sensationalized and devoid of facts so as not to be believable.
