overthewing,
IF the situation was as reported, there would be no one in the obstructing aircraft. They'd all be long gone.
If you read back through this thread, you'll find that we carefully calculate take-off and landing weight (mass) using runway length, over-run and obstruction figures (and numerous other factors).
