That’s a bit too close for comfort…… Wow!!!
EVA Air Boeing 747-45EM taking off from runway 36L at Amsterdam-Schiphol, Netherlands . The great timing and angle just makes this
shot, and the size of the 747, looks surreal.  The distance to the fence was 145 meters(475ft)... Yikes! I wonder if anyone computed the take-off distance prior to the trip?

This is an amazing picture of a disaster that didn't happen. From the smallest airplane to the largest, weight & balance calculations are a critical part of flight safety. From the looks of this 747, the weight was within the CG envelope, but if they'd have added one more 'marshmallow' to each snack tray, this BIRD might not have cleared the fence !!!!

Looks like a telephoto shot.  The fence is probably nowhere near the aircraft.

 

Good photo though.

Tis an optical illusion, that fence runs parallel to the runway, not across the end, but the picture sure makes it look spectacular.

A well known optical illusion from this runway, but an amazing picture still
