John Farley,
Just with that video the reason the ATC makes the joke about it not being over yet is because that the aircraft is doing the take off to the south, which faces a small mountain range. They can not be seen in the haze which is sitting just in front of them, but they are not really anything to worry about.
The runway is fine and has takes many large aircraft (used diplomatically long-haul and for diversions for Sydney/Melbourne).
