IMHO from those photos even i can see this was an accident waiting to happen! Ultimately, BA crew have made serious errors here but still that taxiway cannot be conducive to safe operations at that end of the runway?
I would have thought that applies during the day, as well as night when things are even more dangerous!
It makes me wonder how many other pilots would have made this mistake at JNB... maybe most were just 'following the aircraft in front' ??
