In the video that corner and sign are aligned from the video’er’s perspective, putting him roughly 80’ behind the hold short line on J for 23. From there you can triangulate where the displaced threshold would be roughly, which from the camera’s perspective would be approximately above the “5” in the “23-05” painted on the ground.
Wow, I'm impressed (I am not being sarcastic). You seemed to have went to a lot of effort. Most people on this thread have done nothing more than shoot from the hip. But why are you doing this? You seem to really want to know the answers. Just give the NTSB 10 more days and you will get way more than you asked for. Giove it another 18 months and you will get everything. Personally, I am going to wait rather than hold up a protractor to my computer while counting frames.
