Reciprocal, ie the other end. If you were on the threshold of 25 they were on 07 or vica versa. I understand your meaning the reciprocal of the runway they landed on. I too wondered as to the logic of taking off towards an obstacle.
I am a pilot with probably much more experience of Charleroi than you my friend. As a fellow pilot I am surprised that you would speculate without knowing the facts of the matter.
This is an unfortunate incident that happens to all airlines, but as usual because its Ryanair people have to take a pop and scaremonger. When the results are know discuss it but until then leave the investigation to the investigators and just report the facts without the speculation.
