An EVA Air Boeing 747-45EM taking off from runway 36L at Amsterdam-Schiphol (AMS / EHAM), Netherlands ... Someone probably had to change their underwear after this one! The timing and angle of this shot (particularly the size of the 747), makes 'the event' look even more spectacular! At liftoff, the distance to the fence was just 145 meters (475ft)...! (This was horizontal distance, not vertical!) I must seriously wonder if any member of the EVA cockpit crew bothered to compute the 'required runway length' prior to them initiating the takeoff roll? EVA SHOULD HAVE A WORD WITH HER CREW!! | | | | | | | | | | | | |
